Groundwork London, WRAP & LWARB: Yes to Taste, No to Waste
Pupil-led food waste project, encouraging children and the wider school community to take action on food waste, both in school and at home. The project used innovative methods including experiential learning (hands-on activities), co-design and a whole school approach.
The school programme consists of a series of six interactive workshops culminating in an event for the whole school and wider community, delivered in 24 schools across London. The curriculum-linked workshops were focused on food waste and healthy and sustainable eating, with the key message of ‘choose food that is good for you, and good for the planet’. All workshops are now freely available in a downloadable education pack.
The project used innovative methods including co-design, a whole school approach and experiential learning (hands-on activities) such as planning and delivering a whole school campaign day, led by pupils themselves.
