These vegetables were chosen because they are the most common in school canteens.
The methodology of the project is based on the implementation of 5 educational sessions with the support of educational tools created for this purpose (digital game, children’s story and booklet) in association with the repeated exposure to the five vegetables and their sensory exploration (touch, taste, sound) by children.
One week before the educational sessions, the knowledge and consumption of vegetables by the children in the classroom are evaluated, and the same evaluation is repeated one week after the educational sessions end. The assessment tools were created by the research team of this project and consist of identifying fifteen foods through photographs, recognizing the vegetables in this group of fifteen foods, and identifying the functions in the human body associated with each of the five vegetables in the project.
Veggies4myHeart aims to fill one of the most important gaps in children’s diet, allowing contact and acceptance of the most commonly eaten vegetables in school canteens, through a methodology already used in other international projects and with very satisfactory results.
