WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW?
Rasmelė is organizing a food design festival for children to create the food of the future.
FESTIVAL
The first Food Design Festival for Kids, organized by VIVITA Lithuania, aims to showcase food design and food innovation for children, building children's healthy lifestyle skills and helping them to develop the confidence to imagine and create their future.
TOPICS
BODY + FOOD // DIGESTION, NUTRITION, TEXTURE
Rasmelė's research has shown that understanding how the human body works and what and how much nutrients it needs is critical to creating the food of the future. And how to eat and make food choices to stay healthy. This and more will be explained in workshops with professionals who will help children discover the scientific side of food. VIVITA's active learning methods and the environment it creates will help you to absorb the knowledge not only in a fun way but also in a lasting way so that every child can make their own choices about what's best for their body.
PROTAS + MAISTAS // VALGYMO ĮPROČIAI, FORMA, SPALVA
Understanding the needs of today's children and their evolving eating habits is essential for developing future food. Rasmel will work with children to discover their attitudes toward the shape and color of food and how this influences their food choices. What texture, body, and color of food looks healthy to children? Together with food design experts, we will analyze the subtleties of food presentation in shaping healthier food choices. During the workshop, we will embark on a journey to create the food of the future, where everyone can express their views on the future they want.
