EU school program for balanced diet: sensitize action days

Baden-Württemberg, Germany-currently around 150 institutions in Baden-Württemberg are taking part in the European Union's school program on the nationwide campaign days. These events aim to bring children closer to a balanced diet and find in a variety of ways under the motto "Crunchy, colorful, tasty, fruits, milk and dairy products!" instead of.

Peter Hauk, Minister of Nutrition, Rural Affairs and Consumer Protection, emphasized the importance of these campaign days: "This is how a balanced diet is really fun. In addition, the focus of this year's actions is the focus of this year." A total of around 150 facilities are involved in Baden-Württemberg and organize exciting activities on the subject of balanced diet. Minister Hauk thanked everyone involved who are committed to the sensitization of children to deal with groceries.

The children in daycare centers and primary schools practically implement the topics in the context of projects, sensory exercises and movement games. For example, you will learn how to plant radishes or tomatoes and what they need to grow. In addition, they are trained in perception fruit with their senses and learn what they can best do with the remains of their break vespers.

In order to support the facilities on the campaign days, the State Center for Nutrition has provided the daycare centers and schools with delicious action recipes and other materials free of charge. Participation in the nationwide campaign days also contributes to the pedagogical accompaniment of the EU school program. The institutions receive support from the state initiative "Conscious Children's Nutrition" (BEKI). Beki speakers carry out exciting activities with the children to awaken their joy and enjoyment of eating. In addition, these specialists inform pedagogical specialists and parents about topics such as children's nutrition and how they can better integrate nutritional education into everyday life. The offers of the State Initiative Beki are free of charge and take place in every district in Baden-Württemberg.

Currently, around 450,000 children in around 5,500 facilities in Baden-Württemberg benefit from the EU school program. You will regularly receive fruit, vegetables, milk and dairy products from approved EU school program suppliers who are distributed free of charge to the children. Every year the number of participating institutions increases by around five percent.

The European Union provides 3.3 million euros for the program area for the program area and vegetables and 1.2 million euros for milk and dairy products. These funds are used exclusively to finance food, so that the majority of the costs are covered. The participating institutions have a share of around 25 percent and VAT itself, usually through sponsors. These can be clubs, local companies, the suppliers or the furnishing carriers themselves.
