All participants add their ideas, inspired by virtual events held around the world by local organizers in each city. The city with the most ideas will receive the award for the most creative city.
children and community
School plants fruit trees and vegetable seeds. Children learn how to grow food and start to see it growing. They can also harvest the food afterwards and either give it to the community or eat it themselves. Lessons can be developed to talk about fresh food benefits, health care, food preparation etc.
Message about fresh food and health.
Seeds and compost and packs. Sponsorship and funding from grant bids.
We are a university and have a access to academics, lecturers and students to help bring ideas forward. We also have many business connections which we can partner up with if required.
I would lead/coordinate. My name is Karl McCormack. I am a Senior Lecturer in The Business School and a Pedagogic Innovator at Staffordshire University in the UK.
Short term: organise material and trial
Long term: role out via schools or to local community, then share idea further afield.
Probably already done in places, but will promote growing food. Could be sent to twinned communities in other countries.
