roof, thus in a way they are producing local food as well.
Thus we conducted, both projects carry a great potential in educating pu-
pils and improving their eating habits, if there are certain additions made to
them. Examples are our lecture we gave in three classes and a quiz. We sug-
gest upgrading the projects with more interactive contents, such as different di-
dactic games, lectures, quizes and other different didactic methods, thus pu-
pils would be more effectively presented the purpose of balanced nutrition.
School and local producers or farmers could cooperate and organize work-
shops together. Workshops could be held on school‘s green roof, where pupils
could also meet the local producers or farmers and learn more about their work
and food. Thus pupils could learn more about different crops and foods they
might not have met with yet. Questionnaire results show pupils’ eating hab-
its are not suitable, hence we inferred their knowledge on nutrition is insuffi-
cient. Interractive contents would help them recognize new healthier methods
of food preparation, more knowledge on building a healthy balanced plate and
understanding the importance of drinking water instead of juice or soda, im-
portance of reducing salt in the diet and importance of eating fruit and vege-
tables. Implementing such projects might be beneficial for their knowledge. By
upgrading the projects, additional information would be provided and chang-
es in eating habits would be encouraged.
