So that food waste is not waste
Orange Foundation Employee Grant Program

The Truly Healthy School Program comprehensively develops the culture of eating in all ecological, economic, social and health contexts in Slovak schools. By implementing the So that food waste is not waste project, the project team will support the development of ecological thinking in primary school children. The prepared methodological materials for teachers and pupils and a communication campaign for schools and the public will help raise awareness of the need to value food and not waste food so that food waste is not waste. The funds will be used for graphic preparations and remuneration for a professional lecturer.

Truly Healthy School to Slovak Schools

Thanks to the activities implemented in the Truly Healthy School project, it helps develop a culture of healthy eating and teaches students where food comes from, how it is produced, how it affects our body, but also how it affects the world we live in. At the same time, it helps to get quality, fresh and seasonal products from domestic producers and growers to Slovak schools, thus increasing the level of school meals. It is currently conducting a survey that will highlight children's relationship to a healthy lifestyle, as well as creating new methodological materials for teachers and school canteens. It is also creating a network of regional coordinators, thanks to which the Truly Healthy School program can reach all corners of Slovakia. The aim of these activities is to inform the public about the need for comprehensive education in connection with the topic of food, as well as to contribute to improving children's eating habits and the quality of food in school canteens, and to create new experiential forms of learning in the form of diverse methodological materials.

Healthy at school, good at school

Grant program for the development of sports and education in the capital of the Slovak Republic in Bratislava: SPORTS AND EDUCATION - Subprogram 1 to support physical activities and non-formal education in the field of work with children and youth, 2020, 2nd round

The goal of our project is to raise awareness among students and youth not only in Bratislava's primary and secondary schools, their parents and teachers, about the importance of actively building a healthy lifestyle as a basic condition for prevention against increasingly increasing civilization diseases and eating disorders. We believe that in times when our health and the health of our children is no longer a given, it is time to talk more in depth with young people about why and how to "be fit" both physically and mentally. In a unique survey, in which we want to involve as many Bratislava primary and secondary schools as possible, we want to find out what information, experiences and attitudes young people have regarding this topic. The processed data, which has not been collected to such an extent before, will be the starting point for compiling a "healthy lifestyle guide for youth", which we will publish in cooperation with experts at the end of the project in order to disseminate and facilitate the application of the acquired knowledge into practice. The funds from the grant of the City of BA, together with the voluntary involvement of members of our NGO, were just enough for us to cover the initial phase of the project (preparation and modification of the basic survey methodology, development of the questionnaire content, creation of the assignment for the research team, recruitment and composition of the research team, coordination of the research team + consultations on the preparation of the methodology and content of the questionnaire, recruitment and networking of survey distributors), which we successfully completed.
