Nutrition Friendly Schools

Under the project “Nutrition Friendly Schools”, UNICEF organized workshops with students, parents, and teaching staff in four primary schools in November and December (two in Sarajevo and two in Banja Luka). The goal of the program, being implemented under the slogan “Eat Well, Grow Well”, is the promotion of health and healthy habits in the nutrition of children of pre-school and school age. In the first phase of the project, since 2011, UNICEF has implemented workshops with pre-school children, while at this stage the focus is on children enrolled in the first grade of primary schools. During the workshops, children develop skills and learn through game, adapted to their age, which food groups are necessary in everyday nutrition, and how to prepare a healthy meal in a creative way and bring it to school. Within the program, parents and teachers also learn about the importance of healthy eating habits, in a way adapted to them.
