This activity is designed to challenge perceptions, build confidence, and introduce children to new experiences in a fun and safe way. Children are guided through an educational session where they learn about edible insects, their nutritional value, and their role in survival situations around the world.
Under full supervision, participants are encouraged (but never forced) to try a variety of safe, edible insects. This activity helps children overcome hesitation, develop bravery, and expand their understanding of food sources beyond the familiar.
More than anything, this experience is about confidence. It encourages children to step outside their comfort zone, embrace new challenges, and realise that they are capable of more than they think.
Overview
This activity introduces children to the fascinating world of edible insects in a fun, safe, and educational way. It’s designed to challenge perceptions, build confidence, and encourage curiosity about food and survival techniques used across the world.
Children learn about the nutritional benefits of insects, their role in global diets, and how they can be a sustainable food source. The experience is fully guided, ensuring children feel comfortable and supported throughout.
Participation is always optional, with encouragement rather than pressure. The goal is to build confidence, not force participation.
