Field trips to Lithuanian farms under the “IKI Sodinčius” programme
IKI Sodinčius is a social corporate responsibility project operated by the IKI supermarket chain, which is intended to educate kids about fruit and vegetables by encouraging them to maintain a healthy diet from their early childhood. The project involved field trips for kindergarten children to Lithuania’s largest farms, where the kids could learn more about locally-grown vegetables and fruit. By visiting the country’s farmers, the children not only learned about the varieties of vegetables and fruit grown there, but could also see the fields for themselves and get involved in various types of farm work.
Objective
