Together with your class, you will develop a responsible canteen snack, from the initial idea to promotion. The snack must meet the 5 G’s: Enjoyable, Affordable, Healthy, Convenient and Green. It is a fun way to link awareness of nutrition with collaboration, creativity and making a real impact.
- Suitable for subjects such as biology, care, technology and economics, or as an activity outside the regular curriculum.
- Flexible to fit into your lessons, from a single project day to several weeks.
- A step-by-step plan and other materials are available.
- And who knows, your class might win!
