"The destiny of nations depends on how they nourish themselves" - Brillat Savarin
TheWeek of Tastes is an annual program designed to change children’s relationship with food and address some of the eating habits contributing to the obesity epidemic facing the nation.
Based
on a French program developed twenty years ago and now operating in France,
Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Norwayand
the USA, children are targeted through a
series of interactive and educational experiences which aim to
establish positive associations and new connections to the entire
process of food creation, taste, and the act of eating.
The Week of
Tastes allows children:
to discover the
world of flavours
understand how the five senses are used to appreciate
food
enrich their food vocabulary
develop curiosity and a positive attitude towards new
foods
and learn the link between food and good health.
TheWeek of Tastesin Australia will be celebrated from the 14th to the 24th October in classrooms around the Sydney metropolitan area as well as at restaurants offering aWeek ofTastes Menu.
