We promote sustainability, healthy lifestyles and nutrition while by using toolkits of gastronomy and food we also enhance children\u2019s basic-, psychomotor and social skills<\/strong><\/p>

In our workshops, we provide children with practical skills and talk about the importance of conscious shopping, sensible planning, reducing food waste and waste-free households. We dedicate a special focus for underprivileged and disabled children and communities. Our workshops are designed to provide them with a memorable community experience, while using the tools of gastronomy to develop their skills and transfer practical knowledge.<\/p>

Our Gastro Academy<\/strong>\u00a0workshop is an innovative programme that helps to alter children’s perceptions in the early stage of their development, guiding them towards a sustainable, environmentally conscious, healthier and more inclusive world.
When creating and running our Gastro Academy programme<\/span>, the psychologist and special needs teacher of the Budapest J\u00f3zsefv\u00e1ros Municipality provided invaluable professional support.
The initial target group for our Gastro Academy is age group of 7-13, but\u00a0 we also offer programmes for 4\u20137-year-old children and we are planning to develop a programme for 14\u201318-year-olds.<\/p>

The objectives of the Gastro Academy programme:<\/b><\/p>

  1. Rai<\/span>se awareness amongst children and help develop behavioural patterns early in childhood to encourage the reduction of food waste, so that <\/span>they are also able to consciously influence their surroundings.<\/span><\/li>
  2. Give children hands-on experience of zero-waste food preparation and environmentally friendly kitchen processes that support a healthy lifestyle, resulting in delicious, healthy and nutritious food.
    <\/span><\/li>
  3. Demonstrate the importance of raising consumer awareness, planning and organising shopping and food preparation efficiently for a sustainable future. We aim to reduce household waste by providing information, practical recipes for food preparation and household planning\/shopping materials. It is important to stress that cooperation of all players in the food supply chain is also needed to tackle the problem.
    <\/span><\/li>
  4. Address the adult community around children in the fight against food waste as they play a key role in shaping the habits of the next generation. Through our education programmes for children, we also reach their communities and families, encouraging the children to share their new knowledge and personal experiences on preventing food waste and contributing to a sustainable future for our environment.

  5. In line with our overall mission, in our Gasztro Academy workshops using toolkits of gastronomy we also enhance children\u2019s basic-, psychomotor and social skills:
