The idea of the project:

In spring time of 2015 our students of 7th and 8th classes had a short training course "The generator of ideas" and came out with the idea to discuss school nutrition system, because sometimes they see, that it is not workinf effectively in school. They started to develop the idea and with support of scholl project manager filled the application form and applied from Erasmus + programme. Discussing project idea with our potential partners, we discovered, that school nutrition systems are totally different in different countries and Uk partner suggested to compare them in practice.
