deciding what to eat during recesses and
lunch breaks.
We promoted this to our peers and also tried to talk with the stall owners. We targeted stall
owners which the students indicated in their survey as unhealthy stalls. We tried to convince them to
get healthier options for food, and also aid them in choosing healthier food. We also put up posters in
a three-day Design for Change event held in our school. Through the posters, we hoped to garner
support and create more awareness among the entire school community. Even though it was left
unmanned for most part of the day, we believe that the staff and students went to the posters and
learned something new from them, and gained a new perspective.
Our talk with the stall owners had a great impact on our group. We realised that the stalls
had already used healthy foods in their meals, and already used healthier substitutes for certain foods.
One stall however, was not receptive to change refused to change. We believe that we should also
change the perspectives of the school body about the stalls in the canteen in terms of healthy eating.
