Title: Foodtastic
Short description:
In this project we are going to compare eating habits in different European countries, learn about healthy lifestyle (main focus lies on nutrition), improve our English language skills while learning about biological sources of food, food chains, and exploring the cooking world. Another aim is to broaden pupils’ knowledge about savoir-vivre at the table and many more topics connected to food. During our project, we will highlight the problem of children's hunger/eating disorders around the world and especially in our countries.
This project aims to establish links between science, technology, art and English language and develop scientific knowledge, creativity and imagination of our students.
To achieve these goals, we will use a wide range of ICT tools, collaborative work with pupils and teachers from different European countries and also involve our school community.
