Under the motto ‘Enjoy the outdoors!’, all primary, secondary and vocational schools, as well as childcare centres, can apply for funding for three activities: gardening, cooking, or an excursion or guest lesson related to food. With this contribution towards the costs, the Young Learning to Eat programme aims to encourage schools and childcare centres to introduce children and young people to information and activities about food. This enables them to learn in a practical way how to make healthy and sustainable choices.
For childcare centres, the grant scheme has already been open since 13 February 2019.
For primary, secondary and vocational schools, the grant scheme will therefore open on 2 September 2019.
Conditions
The grant scheme is subject to certain conditions. School locations that were awarded the Young Learning to Eat Grant in round 1 are excluded from participating in round 2. This is intended to ensure that as many school locations as possible can make use of the grant. In total, approximately 350 applications can be awarded in round 2.
