The theme for 2019 is ‘Who makes my meal’ and hopes to encourage young people to think about their favourite foods, where it comes from and who provides it.
Launched in 2013, the day aims to raise awareness of the importance of the nutritional quality of school meal programs worldwide, emphasise the connection between healthy eating, education and better learning, connect children around the world to foster healthy eating habits and promote well-being in schools, share success stories of school meal programs around the globe, highlight research activities in school meal programs around the globe and raise awareness of the hunger and poverty issues being addressed through school feeding programmes.
Caterers can take part by:
- Promoting the day in schools and via websites and social media
- Ask the children and young people to share their activities via the IMSD website
- Use the hashtag, particularly on the day itself – main one #ISMD2019 and #MyFood
