Educational programs

An initiative from the IMMB and the Barcelona Provincial Council's Department of Commerce, its aim is to educate young people regarding the healthy lifestyle that can be found at municipal markets> To this end, it presents a project that will begin in the classroom, continue into the market environment and end with a specifically-designed website.

A pilot project developed within the framework of the European Med Emporion project and financed through EU Med programmes, experts in teaching and nutrition were consulted for its content.

It is aimed at primary and secondary school children. For the former, the programme deals with aspects related to the value of the market as a quality resource for good health, a sense of community and personal service. For the latter, the programme is more of a research activity, one of collaboration and reflection that presents the market as an object of study.
