The “Good Food At School” Pilot Programme aims to enhance activities on hygienic, safe and nutritious school food with the participation of students, teachers, parents, kitchens and food suppliers for schools. The program was implemented by C&E at Yen Hoa and Nam Trung Yen secondary schools, sponsored by Rikolto.
The “Nutrition Festival Day” consists of two main parts: a seminar summarizing the 2022-2024 period and experiential activities for students such as a project product display corner, various booths, and fun, educational games. These activities attracted the participation of a large number of students, parents and delegates. Students expressed special interest in the activity of exchanging trash for green gifts, which are small ornamental plants grown in used bottles, jars and paper boxes. Students were able to decorate their own small potted plants with tools prepared by the Organizing Committee. Students enthusiastically participated in the activity of safe and nutritious food through the activity of learning about the path of food and answering related questions.
At the end of the program, the project handed over a toolkit including reference documents, nutrition posters, height measuring rulers and project communication products to the delegates.
“Nutrition Festival Day” ended in a joyful and exciting atmosphere of delegates, teachers and students of Yen Hoa and Nam Trung Yen Secondary Schools. After 3 years of implementation, the initial results of the “Good Food at School ” project have created a solid foundation for the parties to continue expanding to other schools in Cau Giay District, with the desire to contribute to spreading healthy, nutritious and sustainable eating habits to students and the whole community. In the next two years 2025-2026, the project will reach students of Mai Dich and Nghia Tan Secondary Schools, promising to bring interesting and useful experiences.
