A partnership with Discovery Education for thousands of pupils
To boost science and nutrition lessons in primary schools, the Alimentarium has joined forces with Discovery Education Espresso, one of United Kingdom’s leading digital learning services delivering teaching materials to 1.8 million pupils in over 6500 schools. The content created jointly by the two partners has been available for all teachers in the UK on the Discovery platform since October 2017.
“Discovery Education is delighted to be joining forces with the Alimentarium. We have a shared mission to raise awareness of the issues of food and nutrition, and our combined expertise will enable us to create digital classroom resources with a difference. Together we will help schools to deliver teaching with real impact, encouraging pupils to think about the science of nutrition in an exciting way and to make healthier choices for a lifetime.”
Produced by Discovery Education in partnership with the Alimentarium the module ‘Eating, moving and growing’ has been integrated into the Academy platform and is now freely accessible for all on academy.alimentarium.org.
“This partnership highlights the Alimentarium’s aim to share its expertise and resources with young schoolchildren. As we face numerous challenges for public health and the environment, with a significant impact on food too, it is now more important than ever to raise consciousness for more informed choices from an early age.”
