Workshop exposition for children "Workshop Collection"

March 9th, 2019 (Saturday)

The SDGs design unit participated in the workshop collection held on March 9, 2019 at the Kyushu University Ito campus.

The workshop collection by Kyushu University is one of the world’s largest children’s creative events, intending to promote workshops to stimulate children’s creativity and expression. Professors from Kyushu University hold special lectures for children, and Professor Shigeki Inoue from the Faculty of Design at Kyushu University conducted a lecture on food loss.

We planned and created a fun educational card game for primary schoolers called “You are the cook of tomorrow!” and had just under 30 primary school participants. The children donned chefs’ hats and aprons and enjoyed the game as cooks. In the game, you use ingredient cards to make food, and progress by throwing unneeded ingredient cards in the garbage can and trading for new ingredients. To make enough food, you must keep throwing out unneeded ingredient cards. After the game concluded, it was followed by the lecture on food loss, allowing the children to feel that the ingredient cards they had thrown away were the food loss.

During the lecture, we spoke about the current conditions of food loss, its causes, and countermeasures. The children were surprised that 155 trucks worth of food loss occurs every year in Japan. In the end, we proposed a “No Leftovers” idea, which is achievable even by the children, and when asked “Are you going to leave leftovers today?”, all of the children raised their hands to say “No”.

I hope that the lecture became an opportunity for them to gain an interest in food loss and understand that there are little things they can do to help.
