Tour de l'Assiette with the Sens et Savoirs association

Published June 04, 2023

Ciril GROUP has formed a partnership with the Sens et Savoirs association around the "Tour de l'Assiette" project, to help raise awareness of healthy, sustainable eating among the youngest members of society.

Sens et Savoirs: what's it all about? Sens et Savoirs promotes health by focusing on 2 key areas: diet and lifestyle. The association applies a recognized public health project management approach; it works in all types of public and private structures, with professionals and the general public; it also provides training on its preferred themes.

Funded by a donation drive and carried out in May and June 2023, Le Tour de l'Assiette is a project that aimed to raise awareness among schoolchildren in a priority district of the importance of eating and consuming well, as well as the associated ecological and environmental issues. Sens et Savoirs organized themed workshops for CP, CE1 and CE2 classes at a school in the Lyon area, with three main objectives in mind:

 

  • help children reconnect with their plates and nature, showing them the way to healthy, sustainable eating,
  • train tomorrow's citizens by teaching children to know and love nature's products and to protect nature,
  • encourage children and their immediate environment to adopt eco-citizen gestures through simple everyday actions.

These workshops included the installation of a composter, previously built with the children using recycled materials, and educational sessions on the themes of food, anti-waste, the value of short circuits, raw products and waste reduction, composting and gardening, and more. 

Ciril GROUP would like to thank Sens et Savoirs for this wonderful project to raise awareness among the youngest members of society, and for the wonderful moments shared with the children on the subject of eating and consuming well.
