We conducted a 2-day workshop titled “Let’s eat, Kids!” for preschoolers aged 5-6 years old, introducing them to food wastage. Each age group attended the workshop on different days. Before conducting the workshop, we visited the Childcare Centre to gather more information and find out more about the food wastage situation there. Firstly, we interviewed the teachers to know more about the students’ eating habits and learning activities. Next, we conducted focus group discussions with the students to know more about their knowledge about food waste. After we collected the data, we made a storybook, interactive booklets, puppets, puzzles, colouring and stickers for our workshop. We conducted a pre-and-post workshop focus group discussion with the students to ensure that our objectives are met. To measure the effectiveness of our project, we conducted interviews with the teachers before and after the workshop on the amount of food wasted.
