The Research Team at Wageningen University, which works on Smaaklessen, is looking for Turkish parents with children in grades 3 through 8 for a study on parental involvement. The aim is to learn how parents are involved in nutrition programmes at their child’s primary school and to find out what parents think about them.
The research concerns parents whose mother tongue is Turkish or who can read and write Turkish. The Research Team emphasises that this is a survey, so there are no wrong answers. Completing the survey in Turkish takes approximately 15 minutes. If parents wish, they will receive a €5 gift voucher at the end of the survey. In that case, the Research Team will ask for their contact details.

From 3 to 10 October 2026, it is Our Food Week. A great opportunity to focus with your class at primary school on where our food comes from, how it is made and why healthy and sustainable choices are important. Food education allows pupils not only to learn, but especially to experience. That is why various organisations are joining forces to support schools with inspiring activities, teaching materials and practical tools. Examples include the Mayors’ Breakfast, a free visit to a farm, or shopping vouchers for cooking in the classroom.
