SchoolFood4Change (SF4C) will create a shift to both sustainable and healthy diets on a broad societal scale by directly impacting over 3,000 schools and 600,000 school children in 12 EU countries, providing a replicable good practice across the EU and beyond. The SF4C specific objectives (SO) are: SO1: To innovate and roll out sustainable healthy food procurement, sourced from land, inland water and sea, in line with the EU Farm to Fork Strategy and the SDGs. SO2: Through innovative "planetary health diets & cooking", linked to the identity of the territory, train and empower cooks and urban food enablers in the cities. SO3: To ensure an enabling educational environment through the innovative "whole school food approach" which is a method about achieving a healthy food culture in and around schools, contributing to community-wide whole systems change, and impacting on education, sustainability, inequalities, communities and health. SO4: To assess the SF4C impact, demonstrate real life delivery ("business case"), particularly on health and behavioural change of vulnerable children, and prove that it can be cost-effective. SO5: To seek impact for all EU citizens, demonstrate swift EU replicability, also beyond schools, and engage with EC Services and projects on increased Farm to Fork impact toward 2030. All children go to school and are vulnerable to diet-related conditions and disadvantaged environments. SF4C views schools and children and young people (0-18 years of age) as catalysts for systemic change for the shift to sustainable and healthy diets of all EU citizens. The SF4C triple impact approach (SO1-3) will be implemented by 33 partners, mostly governmental partners that have the mandate over sustainable healthy school meals, including many pioneers from across the EU. SF4C has received official support from 10 EU Members States.

<< Objectives >>The objective of the School climate challenge project is to provide teachers with educational resources to inspire young people about a positive vision of the future and kick-start their interest in innovative solutions that will help make the EU food systems fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly. The project will inspire young people to be the change they want to see and allow integration of the project results in the regular work of the project partners.<< Implementation >>The project will create an online platform with innovative educational resources for teachers and students in English, German, Slovak and Czech. The resources in the form of best practice examples will be researched, gathered, edited and tested. The project will create and implement the Young Food Change Makers Challenge to engage young people in local initiatives, projects. The partners will embed the newly created teaching and learning resources into their daily work and disseminate it widely.<< Results >>The project will produce 3 concrete results:Interactive online platform with a broad spectrum of learning resources for teachers and studentsStudent led local initiatives to make real change happenChange multiplication – engagement of wide audienceThe project will provide the youth with skills to create a meaningful impact and enable their voices to be heard around food and climate discussions, and make every voice become part of the solution in the EU strategies to tackle climate change.
