Food is a fundamental need for the survival of all living beings.

Throughout history, humans have developed many methods for growing, processing, and preparing food.

This varies depending on climatic conditions and cultural diversity.

It is important to recognize that food is a precious commodity that is not to be taken for granted. We often overlook the long journey from seed to our plates. A lot of food is wasted, we undervalue the work of farmers, and we are often not creative enough in reusing or recycling food.

Understanding and awareness of these issues are crucial for the sustainable existence of humans on this planet.

The theme of ‘food’ opens a wide field for exploration, learning, and discovery.

A significant feature of our Montessori camps is that children gain concrete experiences in daily tasks essential for quality independent living in adulthood. They learn to take care of themselves and others. Among other things, children prepare meals (in collaboration with mentors), engage in land activities (farming), care for animals, manage natural resources, and, of course, have fun with enjoyable social interactions.

This year's educational theme “FOOD” will enrich children's knowledge in various areas:

• Natural Science Aspect of Food: agriculture, biotechnical aspects, health
• Cultural Aspect
• Attitude Towards Food
• Cooking Experience
