Summary: A global education initiative to raise awareness of hunger, malnutrition and food security around the world.
Description: Feeding Minds Fighting Hunger is a global education initiative designed to help youth discuss and understand issues of hunger, malnutrition, poverty and food security and to stimulate them to participate in activities to create a world free from hunger. On World Food Day, October 16th - and throughout the year - students and teachers from all over the world will come together to discuss lessons and look at ways to participate in activities and raise aware. World Food day is celebrated every year to commemorate the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations in 1945. World Food day and activities during World Food week aim to heighten public awareness of the plight of the world's hungry and malnourished and encourage people worldwide to take action against hunger. More than 150 countries around the world observe this event each year. For this project, three lessons are provided for primary, intermediate and secondary school. Participants discuss how they have used the lesson plans to identify issues of hunger and poverty in their communities and around the world. Teachers submit lessons generated in classes for use by other teachers around the world. New ideas, activities and lessons from around the world will be collected and distributed each year. Lesson plans are available at http://www.feedingminds.org CD-ROM and print versions can be ordered from the website
