Educational projects
In order to transform the food system, it is essential to foster far-reaching cultural change, and above all to influence the food education of future generations. To this end, educational projects have been launched to introduce sustainable food into the Centre's educational projects.

Barcelona City Council’s Schools + Sustainability “Eat Smart” Micro-Network is working towards this goal by training teachers, promoting the exchange of experiences and providing educational tools and pedagogical resources for focusing on sustainable food in the classroom in a cross-cutting way, through different subject areas. In the 2020-2021 academic year, 11 schools were involved, and in the 2021-2022 academic year, around 20 schools will be involved.

The resource pack “Lunch is ready!” draws together a selection of fiction and non-fiction books that focus on the different aspects of eating sustainably. It is made up of a hundred or so books, which are labelled so that the discourse can be organised by following the seven thematic headings that respond to the following phrase: “Who eats what, how, where, when, how much and why...but hang on a minute!””
