#GROWING STRONG TOGETHER HOW TO#

Knowing how to grow food is not just amazing fun, it's also a life skill and one our children should not be without.'

When you have grown once, you will want to grow for a lifetime.

This project provides a model to bring together a diverse alliance who are focused on a shared goal.Д¬ommenting on Grow Strong, Chris Collins said, вЂњThere is nothing like seeing the miracle of a tiny seed emerge from the soil, grow, bloom and produce fresh food. As with all of our projects, we believe we are stronger when working in partnership with other organisations. The wall chart was specifically designed to act as the child's вЂmission controlвЂ™, bringing together every part of the journey with stickers which help track the вЂseed to seedling to harvestвЂ™ and integrated digital components to add depth and discovery to it. It also puts the children centre-stage as they perform the pivotal role of nurturing the tomato plants along their growing journey. The key to success comes from extending the project from schools to home and the wider community. To check out the materials, visit the project website here. Chris Collins will also be joining EdinburghвЂ™s children, growing his own tomato plant and providing tips and vlogs to help them.

The packs also contain a Grow Strong wall chart full of information and advice to help the young growers. During the holidays children will be able to visit community gardens in Edinburgh to find out more about growing vegetables and for expert help with their plant. The seeds will be sown in school in May and the seedlings will be taken home over the summer holidays ready for the pasta sauce to be created from their cherry tomato harvest in September.

The campaign launched in Romania, 'We grow up stronger when we grow up together'В is aimed at families with children agedВ betweenВ 0 and 6 that have a disability, as well as at all parents and professionals working with children, including children with disabilities. UNICEF data shows that at least 75 per centВ of the estimated 5.1 million children with disabilities living in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia are excluded from quality inclusive education. This takes the form of negative attitudes, the lack of appropriate policies and legislation, impeding access to health care, education and potentially endangering their lives. So most of these children are, in fact, invisible.Д¬hildren with disabilities are one of the most marginalized and excluded groups in society, facing daily discrimination. Official statistics show that in Romania, there are approximately 72,000 children with disabilities registered in the state records. Globally, UNICEF estimates that 1 in 10 has a form of disability.
