Transforming food culture in schools
Education Business online
This article informs the audience about the Food for Life program implemented in many schools in the UK. Through this program, children got to visit farms learn how to cook, and grow their own food. Studies after the program implementation showed an improvement of children's health as well as a leap forward in closing the gap both in health and academic for disadvantaged children and their peers.
I enjoyed learning about a similar program to our campaign that launched in the UK, especially because this article showed the positive outcomes for children after the implementation. Aside from our goal being to inform and teach children about different cultures through food, it is also to bridge the gap between the experiences of disadvantaged low-income kids and their peers, and this case has given 4By4 a good insight on possible positive outcomes of our own program to reach that goal.
4Culture "Poetry on Buses" launch party

4Culture is hosting a launch party for their new year-long celebration of local voices in the King County through the art of poetry. There will be poetry readings on the theme of "home" from all over the world, as well as local musical performances.
This event is relevant to our campaign because it is an event hosted by our client's organization, and displays the importance of diverse cultures through an art form: poetry. We believe that our campaign celebrate the same values of cultural diversity in our county through another art form of food. I am actually going to this event on Monday evening, and am interested in seeing how the poets represent their cultures, and be inspired for how 4By4's events can be run as well.
Modernist Cuisine Co-Author Hosts Art for Food

This articles highlights the entrepreneurial chef behind the concept of Imagine Food, which I have highlighted before. The article discusses how chef Maxime Bilet wants Imagine Food (orig. called Art for Food) to create "an interactive experience that explores food as a method of communication by studying its relationship to technology, sustainability, art, history, social politics, etc. 10 percent of the profits also go to NW Food Education Fund.
I've thought Imagine Food is a good inspiration for 4By4 in the past, and reading the article about the creator definitely strengthened my thoughts on that. Though we focus on the cultural ties of food, that also encompasses aspects such as history, art, and politics just as Bilet has done with his program. Their dinner events are also good inspiration for us.
