Get Your Pulse Racing

- free resources for schools

13 April

Schools are invited to get pulses racing by joining in National Vegetarian Week (NVW) 2007 sponsored by Cauldron Foods. The week offers a great opportunity to use the topic of vegetarianism and there are lots of lesson plan ideas in the free NVW Education Packs.

Each pack contains Quick Lesson Ideas, a special edition Get Your Pulse Racing - NVW poster, stickers, the popular Balance of Good Health poster, and the booklet Vegetarian Catering for Schools and Colleges packed with very tasty recipes. Visit www.vegsoc.org/nvw and follow the link for schools to order your NVW Education Pack, plus any additional posters and stickers.

Susan Furmage, Youth Education Officer, said, “The Vegetarian Society’s National Vegetarian Week is a terrific time to explore the topic of vegetarianism in the classroom and in the school cafeteria. Nutrition for young people, healthy eating, and respect for people’s differences are all hot topics, and the subject of vegetarianism offers opportunities for exploration in all of these areas!”
