🌱 What could A Day of Healthy Living look like in your school or community?

This October and November, Kitchen Adventure and BIO-STREAMS invite schools, parent organisations, municipalities, community centres, youth organisations and local partners to create their own A Day of Healthy Living.

There is no fixed programme, the day is yours to create! Organise an activity at school, bring families together, develop a community programme or turn it into a full healthy-living event.

Each event includes at least one core activity: the Kitchen Adventure Cookathlon or the BIO-STREAMS Hackathon. You can also add sports, games, walks, demonstrations, family activities or other local initiatives.

📅 Events will take place in October and November 2026

Did you know that a lack of time is the main reason for impulse buying and food waste at home? 🛒📉

After the International Day of Awareness on Food Loss and Waste, we’re reminded that change begins with our own habits at home. And what better way to do this than by involving the whole family?

Turning meal planning into a family activity not only teaches us about sustainability and nutrition, but also directly helps the planet and our wallets. To put this idea into practice in an interactive and fun way with the little ones, projects like KitchenAdventure offer ideal resources for transforming the kitchen into a space for learning and play.

Three simple steps to get started this week:

🗓️ Plan the menu as a team: Decide together on the week’s meals based on what’s already in the pantry.

📝 Create a streamlined shopping list: Buy only what’s necessary to prevent fresh food from going bad.

🧺 Organize the fridge: Follow the “first in, first out” rule so nothing gets forgotten in the back.

Planning doesn’t take time away; it gives you time back during the week, reduces daily stress, and keeps kilos of food from ending up in the trash.

Do you already practice meal planning at home, or are you ready to give it a try this Sunday? We’d love to hear from you in the comments! 👇

Eco Food for Thought - looking back on our schoolyear with the Kitchen Adventure programme

Young people in Olsztyn, Poland came together to discuss sustainable food choices, healthy lifestyles, and the impact of our everyday decisions on the planet during the “Eco Food for Thought” educational event at the University of Warmia and Mazury.

One of the highlights was a presentation by Joanna Michalak from the Food Bank in Olsztyn, who shared how food education, reducing food waste, and responsible consumption can help build a healthier and more sustainable future.

The event showed how important it is to engage young people in conversations about food systems, ecology, and conscious consumer choices - values that are also at the heart of the Kitchen Adventure project.

🍴👨‍🍳 Cooking together is one of the best ways to learn.

During the first six months of 2026, 66 families took part in the online workshops carried out in Spain, discovering new recipes, ingredients and ways to enjoy cooking together as a family.

Guided by chef , participants prepared healthy and flavourful dishes while learning how small decisions in the kitchen can contribute to a more balanced and sustainable diet.

But has been about much more than cooking. It has provided an opportunity to spend quality time together, gain confidence in the kitchen and build habits that can last well beyond the workshops.
