Stop Food Waste Day 2022 Assembly, Tutor Time, PSHE, Citizenship

This is a 15-20 minute assembly about food waste and specifically Stop Food Waste Day on 27th April 2022.

It is suitable for KS3-KS5 (Ages 11-18, Years 7-13, Grades 6-12) and includes many discussion activities that could easily be lengthened as written activities if you wanted it to last for a 60-90 minute lesson instead. It was used as a Citizenship whole school tutor time session for the week of Stop Food Waste Day 2022.

It includes:

• What is Stop Food Waste Day?
• A downloaded and clipped video which will never disappear about how we can solve the world’s food problem.
  -Why it is so important to stop food waste including figures and facts.
• Images that explain practical ways to stop food waste
• A downloaded and clipped video which will never disappear about the UN World Food Program’s campaign to stop food waste.
• Class debate around personal responsibility for food waste
• How this links to the British Value of Individual Liberty
• How this connects to the UN Rights of a Child
• Discussion and reflection point
• Links so students can watch or read about the issue further (excellent for online platforms)
• Quotes, pictures, dual coding, reference to other news stories of the week
• Ends with an online news quiz

This is a narrated powerpoint but it can easily be changed by deleting the icon on each slide if you would prefer it not narrated. This session fits into the Citizenship and PSHE curriculum but also covers SMSC, Geography, Health Curriculum and Fundamental British Values. Students reacted very well to this resource and many interesting discussions came from it.
