PLANEaT – Youth Oriented Food Education
The main objective of the project is to strengthen young people’s agency in relation to food, increase their knowledge of healthy and sustainable eating, and develop practical materials for professionals working with young people.
Exploring Food Together.
The project aims to:
- Increase awareness of youth nutrition and food education among professionals working with young people.
- Develop participatory approaches and practical models to support young people’s nutrition.
- Improve independent young people’s knowledge of healthy and sustainable food choices.
- Strengthen young people’s agency and confidence in food-related decision-making.
Action
We meet young people and professionals working with young people in a variety of interactive workshops, exploring food-related skills, attitudes, and everyday choices together.
We engage with young people at various events through interactive activity stations focused on food-related topics.
By preparing food together, we help young people develop practical everyday skills, gain confidence in the kitchen, and enjoy positive food experiences.
Together with students, we are developing a food-themed game that explores food-related topics in an engaging and youth-centred way.
Together with online upper secondary school students and Otavia, we are developing digital learning materials that support food skills and encourage healthy and sustainable food choices.
