Do we know Mediterranean diet and their principles? Can you imagine what are the benefits for health and environment? In which degree do we adopt the Mediterranean diet on a daily basis?
In this Open Learning Scenario, the students will get to know about the benefits of consuming local and traditional products. They will collect local traditional recipes (linkage with history lesson, social sciences), organise a fest and offer cooked traditional honeypies using the knowledge and information collected in the organization/nutritionist. In the co-creation process, they will discuss the impacts on health with a nutritionist and the school community.
With the information gathered, students will create a flyer with the principles of the Mediterranean diet and share it with the community.
