SUMMARY:Food and Culture - a Global, Collaborative Classrooms Project
DESCRIPTION:Let your students learn with the world, not just about the
  world!\n\nThe purpose of this project is the development of a global,
  collaborative classrooms project which will provide a context for stu
 dents to:\n\n* Develop knowledge, skills and habits conducive to excel
 lent health\n* Practice habits of responsible citizenship - locally to
  globally\n* Develop Global Competencies by studying \"with\" the worl
 d instead of \"about\" the world\n* Develop critical 21st Century Skil
 ls\n* Become engaged in a rigorous, relevant and real-world project\n*
  Engage the knowledge within the disciplines through research, problem
  solving and application\n* Learn - as opposed to memorizing then forg
 etting discrete facts\n\n\nThe initial sources of inspiration for this
  project were the book, Hungry Planet - What the World Eats, which is 
 both a beautiful and profound essay on the people of our planet and th
 e food they eat; the Edible Schoolyard Project where students grow and
  cook their own food, as many of the content standards are taught thro
 ugh this project; Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, in which the goal is
  to change school lunch programs worldwide by providing fresh, healthy
  foods; Richard Louv's book, Last Child in the Woods, an excellent com
 pilation of research on the relationship of being in nature to the phy
 sical and emotional health of children and the direct impact on a stud
 ent's academic achievement; and the One Day on Earth film project, in 
 which the goal is to create a documentary of one day on Planet Earth, 
 and to include film footage from every country in the world.\n\nBrains
 torming the possibilities for participation by teachers and students f
 rom PK-20, as well as the participation of chefs, scientists, anthropo
 logists, mathematicians, health care providers, historians, archaeolog
 ists, filmmakers, architects, environmentalists and many other experts
 , we began to develop a framework for the project. We developed strand
 s of curriculum, or Issues and Themes, based upon the connections we d
 erived from the overall theme of Food and Culture.\n\nJoin Today\n\nNo
 te: This project is not just for Family and Consumer Science classes -
  it is designed to be utilized by nearly every course, content area an
 d grade level, PreK to PhD.\n\nRead more at:\n\nThe official Food and
