Let’s get active! Introducing our Activity Weeks 2024!

There are quite a few challenges that we have to face when it comes to food systems. Not only they are accountable for 30% of all greenhouse emissions, but also, food-related diseases such as type-2 diabetes, heart diseases, cancer are on the rise, meanwhile, more and more children are overweight and/or obese all around Europe.

You as an educator have a key role in facing these challenges and together with students and families, transform our future. By participating and engaging your classes and school in the FoodEducators Activity Weeks, you are taking one more step forward, raising awareness of the importance of food among students in a playful way.

Building on FAO’s World Food Day on the 16th of October, we are offering you activities you can celebrate the world of food with during our Activity Weeks. Simply choose a day and implement one – or all! - of our activities with your students!

With our activities we focus our efforts on drawing attention to the topic of food. Our booklet is available in the 15 languages of our partner countries. To acknowledge participation, educators using our materials and providing us feedback via our feedback form can receive certifications and virtual badges.

Duration of the Activity Weeks: 14th -26th October, submission deadline for certifications and badges: 10th November 24:00 CET
