Shortly describe your project
We drew inspiration from the “Your Five Best Snacks” method (https://www.wastenot-wantnot.eu/de/das-klappt-gut/eure-fuenf-besten-snacks) to address the topic in a way that is relevant to real life and student-centered. In class, students first reflect on their own wasteful habits regarding recess snacks and identify possible causes before working together to develop preferred, healthy, and practical alternatives.
In this way, both the acceptance of recess snacks and a conscious and sustainable approach to food are promoted.
