The nationwide campaign days of the EU school program in Baden-Württemberg promote healthy eating for children in schools and daycare centers.
Healthy eating for children: Action days of the EU school program in BW!
As part of the EU school program, nationwide campaign days take place in Baden-Württemberg from June 23 to July 30, 2025. The aim of these days is to promote a healthy diet and the conscious handling of food in children. Minister Peter Hauk emphasizes the important role of nutritional education in daycare centers and schools. He recently attended the Gerlachsheim linden school in Lauda-Königshofen, where the students actively design bread faces, prepare vegetable skewers and mix smoothies. Such creative actions are part of the special feature of the program that has established itself in Baden-Württemberg since the 2017/18 school year.
The EU school program has continued to develop during this time and now reach almost 5,500 primary schools and daycare centers with around 481,000 participating children. In these facilities, children are enabled to access fresh fruit, vegetables, milk and milk products from the region, which not only promotes taste, but also strengthens their health awareness. According to [Baden-wuerttemberg.de] (https://www.baden-wuerttemberg.de/de/service/pressemitteigeitung/pid/landesweit-aktionstage-zum-eu-schulprogrammer- 4), the pedagogical accompaniment by the State Center for Nutrition (Lern-BW) and the State Initiative Beki is decisive for the success of this initiative.
diverse actions in the facilities
The campaign days offer a platform for primary schools and daycare centers to playfully familiarize the children with the topic of nutrition. Through thematic actions, the children should be sensitized to an appreciative handling of food. These actions strengthen everyday skills and promote varied, sustainable and enjoyable food. The invitation to participate has already been pronounced by Minister Hauk, who encourages all facilities to design creative events on the subject of nutrition.
The focus of the annual campaign days is on the ecological and social aspect of nutrition. In this way, the children can not only learn the importance of healthy and regional nutrition, but also convert it into practice. [lern-bw.de] (https://lern-bw.de/startsite/ernaehrungsbildung/aktionsstage-eu-school program) emphasizes that the offers are also integrated in the framework of the "The whole country. This initiative aims to further strengthen awareness of a sustainable diet.
In summary, it can be seen that the nationwide campaign days of the EU school program not only represent an important step to improve nutritional education, but also have a lasting influence on nutritional culture in Baden-Württemberg. Accompaniment by state institutions and the active participation of the schools play a central role here in order to sensitize children at an early stage and sustainable awareness of a healthy diet.
