Our booth consisted of bringing engagement, fun, and education altogether to the young audience.
To do so, we first asked them questions like, "What is your favorite food?" "What food do you dislike?"
With that, we tried to find some commonalities and connect back to the important topics, food waste, and zero hunger.
We introduced our club, what we have been doing as youths, and our focus, and tried to emphasize climate change (in relation to food waste) by asking the audience questions of whether they usually eat all of the school meals or the food that they receive.
From this, we were definitely able to build some knowledge of the food habits with students and check whether they knew about how to reduce food waste. Based on the conversation, we informed the audience of the ways that can be used to prevent further issues from happening and talked about the worst-case scenarios that can happen if proper action is not taken. The strategies that were mentioned were composting and upcycling.
Lastly, to end with an enjoyable session, there were two interactive activities.
The first activity was creating the food that the student likes or hates. We made sure that from this experience, students can learn to prevent having "likes" and "dislikes" with food, creating food waste; instead, create a healthy eating habit where they can eat all kinds of food without hesitation. We tried to emphasize the idea that this not only hinders issues like climate change but also can create a healthy balanced diet or body for themselves in terms of eating, from picky eater to adventurous eater.
The second activity was writing or drawing something that comes into mind when hearing the word, "food waste." This one was made so that we can see what are the common ideas that students may think of and in general identify what they have learned throughout the experience at our booth. Most of the students drew the food waste bag with flies around or their school lunch trays.
