As an educational organization, Slow Food has the task of teaching how to revalue food and the people who produce it. One of the simplest ways to do this is to engage children in the process of growing and preparing some of their own food.

Another activity like promoting cooking with fair food which is very often also local food, educational activities – community projects like food garden. We try to educate people and try to change their attitude to buy more local products. Each project has the same goal of education. For example, if children are targeted (e.g. through School Gardens), it is easier to convince the parents to buy local.
