27What would you add or change to this project? Why?-I want add cooking healthy foods at home because its healthy and fun activityIt could be a booklet of different healthy food recipes that kids might like.It was a complete project, I wouldn't change anything for my students, but it might be difficult for younger ages.Everything was good.I WOULD CREATE A COMMON PRODUCT.I would shorten the duration of the project.I would move the school garden planting activity to May. Because being from different countries, the climate did not allow it due to geographical conditions.I would reduce the number of activities.There should be more communicative and evaluation meetings between teachers and studentsI would add a daily or weekly challenge calendar with small healthy habits to adopt, such as drinking more water, exercising, or meditatingI wouldn't add. Complete, interactive, and applied essay for all participants.We formed a debate team. We discussed the advantages and disadvantages of a healthy and unhealthy life.More timeMaybe less activitiesEvaluation of the correlation between ancient dietary habits and health(Because the past sheds light on the future)I can add it as visiting places where they can experience how vegetables and fruits are grown and/or trying to grow them in their living spaces.
