It is a healthy eating contest to get children and teenagers in Argentina to eat more fruits.
Public and private schools from all over the country can participate to create healthy eating habits in children.
Because in Argentina, 41% of children between 5 and 17 years of age are overweight or obese, we feel a deep commitment and responsibility to change this reality. That is why, at schools and with the help of thousands of teachers, we want to help raise awareness and promote the consumption of fruits.
* Data from the latest National Health and Nutrition Survey (2019).
In teams, students and teachers work to spread the word about the importance of eating more fruits. They make videos, posters, social media campaigns, poems, cooking shows, and more, and this year we adapted the proposal to the pandemic context so that people can participate from home!
Fill Your School with Fruit champion teams win nothing more and nothing less than fruit for the whole school for the entire 2021 school year. In addition, school kits, a trip to Buenos Aires, and overalls for teachers are also provided.
