Students first watched two documentaries (Un monde obèse et Douce France) and discussed it. After a collective reflection, they produced mind maps around the food system. The class decided to consider this theme through the prism of students' eating habits.
The project began with a recurrent observation : many students came in the morning having had little or no breakfast. They built a survey which they had submitted to their peers in five other classes. The results allowed them to consider appropriate solutions.
Background
The school already had worked on food waste issue. The teacher wanted to develop a Living Lab project, which led to this initiative on student's eating habits and breakfast, involving two classes.
Aim
Identify student's habits and raise their awareness about the importance of a well balanced breakfast.
Co-creation with societal actors
A sociologist helped the first class building a suitable survey regarding their peer's eating habits.
Other teachers, a network of associations and a nutritionist participated in a roundtable about the student's project.
The nutritionist helped the second class with the reflection about well balanced breakfasts.
Municipality supported the initiative and funded a shared breakfast in the school.
Implementation
The viewing of documentaries led to a debate between students, resulting to the identification of an issue of direct concern for them.
The survey was used to extend their reflexion to the school's level.
A first step was the awareness-raising in the school : students went in classes with posters they had made. Finally they organised a shared well balanced breakfast for their peers with municipality fundings.
