It is an educational initiative for teachers, dining room staff and any other interested members of the educational community.

Important aspects such as where our food comes from; local production; the value of farmers; conscious, fair and responsible consumption; food sovereignty and the impacts of food on health, the environment and society will be covered during the school year. Alternatives to the current food model, and their benefits, will also be covered.

Participants will receive tailored support from the micro-network’s specialist team throughout the process based on the goals set in the action plan at the start of the school year. It also provides:

• A conceptual framework on healthy, fair and sustainable food.
• Training, exchange and networking sessions for both teachers and students. 
• In-person or online advice throughout the year.
• Additional activities with specialist educators.
• An educational guide and an education toolkit available on loan (must be requested from the SDEA) with suggested activities, strategies and resources.
• Additional educational resources.

• Participating teachers must attend the training sessions, as well as the meeting for schools as much as possible. 
• Drawing up an action plan with specific goals and an assessment of involvement, with training methods, content and structure both on an ongoing basis and at the end of the school year. 
• Hosting the micro-network’s specialist team at the school for support and guidance at least once during the school year. 
• Maintaining good communication with More Sustainable Schools contacts.
