Visit the school's project.

The theme of our project is 'Healthy Food'. Our objective is to make pupils aware of their own food habits. Pupils will be introduced to variety of healthy food alternatives and will be taught to plan their own menus. This way they will learn how to make healthy chooses and see the impact of their chooses to their well being and health. Pupils will be introduced to different traditions concerning food in different countries and they will have an opportunity to compare different eating habits in Europe .

The participating schools will have theme days at school about food culture in different countries. During these theme days the typical food of the participating countries will be served at lunchtime. Partner schools will also exchange recipes and test them in their own schools. By the end of the first year the best of the recipes will make a cook book. This cook book includes good and healthy menus and information of healthy food. The cook book will be put in a shared website. More material about food will also be included in the website.

During our project we are going to have student exchange to deepen the project theme. An important part of the student exchange is using the recipes in the cook book and preparing meals together. Our theme 'Healthy food' is also going to be a part of our curriculum. We will have field excursions, for example pupils will visit local food producers. After the visits, articles will be written to local newspapers etc.

The theme of our project, 'Healthy food', is very important, because pupils are eating more and more junk food. There are some pupils who don't eat during the school day and others who replace meals with candy. We hope that with the help of this project pupils will be more aware of the importance of healthy food.
