The students rotate in small groups and discuss short challenge statements/questions about food waste, exchanging perspectives and seeking possible solutions.
The intention is to raise awareness about the problem of food waste and to encourage students to think critically, propose practical solutions, and understand different perspectives.
Teacher introduces the activity and explains the Team Rotation (3 min).
Students are divided into small Random Groups (4–5 per group) and sit at separate tables.
Each table receives oneFood Waste Challenge – Team Rotate Cards/question about food waste, e.g.:
– “Throwing away food is not such a big problem – it decomposes anyway.”
– “Buying in bulk always means saving money and food.”
– “The school canteen should measure how much food is wasted daily.”
– “It is better to eat imported fruit than throw away local food leftovers.”
– “Expiration date and ‘best before’ mean the same thing.”
Groups discuss the statement, agree on key arguments, and write 2–3 points (5 min).
After 5 minutes, groups rotate and move to a new table, where they continue the debate on the previous group’s notes and add their ideas (20 min total – 4 rotations).
Final 5 minutes: short plenary – each group shares one most interesting insight/solution.
