We are delighted to have Food Dudes in our school this week! A huge thank you to Ms. McGrath for organising the event!
The EU School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme is delivered to primary schools in Ireland through the Food Dudes Healthy Eating Programme. Food Dudes is designed to positively change children’s attitudes towards eating fresh fruit and vegetables, by combining three key elements:
Repeated tasting, Rewards and Role modelling.
The new programme is delivered on a continuous cycle in schools. Food Dudes utilises compostable packaging, to deliver fresh fruit and vegetables, and educational materials to pupils taking part nationwide.
