clever cookie in the classroom
we’re working together with schools to roll out our clever cookie kits to classrooms first of all - and here’s why…
studies show that young people are more likely to have an open mind about eating insects; seeing it as ‘fun and challenging’
in a 2020 study in three UK schools, 100% of children responded positively to the taste of insect protein
the UN report on insect-eating called for the ‘entire educational community’ to work to change perceptions
learning about bugs
we’ve designed our cookie kits to provide a holistic learning experience. Opportunities for discussion and links to the broader curriculum include:
✓ sustainability & climate change
✓ the agricultural industry & emissions
✓ food security & insecurity
✓ plant-based & animal sources of protein
✓ cultural attitudes to insect-eating around the world
✓ challenging preconceptions and the importance of an open mind
