Empowering Through Nutrition: ICSK Celebrates National Nutrition Week
Wednesday, October 2, 2024
In celebration of National Nutrition Week, held during the first week of September, the Department of Home Science at the Indian Community School Kuwait (ICSK) organized a dynamic and educational campaign titled "Nourish to Flourish." The initiative aimed to highlight the importance of balanced nutrition and healthy eating habits, reaching students and the broader school community.
Led by the Home Science students of Grades 11 and 12, with participation from the NIOS Class 12 students from the afternoon batch, the week-long campaign featured a series of engaging activities. These included interactive lessons designed to educate students on the vital role of nutrition in maintaining overall health and well-being. The campaign not only focused on imparting information but also actively encouraged students to adopt healthier dietary habits.
One of the key highlights was an assembly presentation, where students shared essential tips on making smart food choices, emphasizing the long-term benefits of a nutritious diet. The message was reinforced with fun and educational puzzles about balanced diets, which were distributed to all classes. This interactive approach helped students grasp nutritional concepts in an enjoyable manner, ensuring that the lessons would stick with them.
Posters filled with nutritional information were displayed across the school campus, and a video promoting healthy eating was shared on the school's social media platforms to reach a wider audience. The school radio also played a pivotal role, dedicating segments to discussions on health and nutrition, encouraging students to participate in conversations about maintaining a balanced diet.
This comprehensive campaign sought not only to educate but also to inspire students to make informed dietary choices, preventing lifestyle-related diseases and fostering a healthier future for all.
