Skutecne Zdrava Skola is a non-governmental organization which manages an educational, awareness-raising and information programme for schools, school canteens, educators and pupils in order to raise awareness of local and healthy food and the relationship between consumed food and the state of the environment in which we live. The aim of this approach is to encourage lasting and sustainable changes to the way we all think about food, our communities, our environment and our health. Skutecne Zdrava Skola has seventeen paid members of staff.
The goal of Skutecne Zdrava Skola is to improve the state of the school food and food culture by using more fresh, seasonal and sustainably produced products from local farms; making good food the easy choice for everyone; reconnecting pupils with where their food comes from; teaching them how it’s grown and cooked and championing the importance of well-sourced ingredients. An essential part of this work is focusses on education in school gardens, cooking classes, farm visits and involvement in the local community.
By the end of 2017 more than 300 schools with over 53 000 pupils were registered and working on the education programme. All schools in the programme receive resource packs and access to a personalised portal for the school where they'll find a wealth of resources to support all aspects of the programme.
