Ahead of World Food Day, celebrated on 16 October 2025, SchoolFood4Change is inviting partner schools across Europe to take part in a photo campaign inspired by this year’s theme: “Hand in hand for better foods and a better future!”

The initiative aims to showcase the daily commitment of schools to provide healthier, more sustainable and inclusive school meals, and to promote a new food culture that connects wellbeing, education and environmental responsibility.

How to participate:
  1. Choose or take a photo that represents your school’s commitment to better food and a more sustainable future.
  2. Submit your photo via this form or send it by email to info@schoolfood4change.eu by 16 October 2025.

If you send your photo by email, please include your school’s name and a short explanation of how your picture reflects this year’s theme.

Selected photos will be featured on the SchoolFood4Change website and social media channels, showing how change can begin with simple, everyday actions — at the table and in the classroom.

A single click can tell a powerful story: let’s build together a fairer and more sustainable food future.
