Description
Mariusz Jaworski reports a 2026 process evaluation of 'I Know What I Eat,' a municipal nutrition education program running in Warsaw primary schools for children aged eight and nine. Rather than measuring health outcomes, the study asks how well the program was delivered and what helped children engage with food choices.
The evaluation covered 81 schools and 198 workshop cycles, drawing on teacher-observers, six trained implementers, and program records. Delivery quality scored near the top of a five-point scale with little variation across schools. Hands-on cooking, peer interaction, and active participation emerged as the features that engaged children most. The findings suggest such programs can shape food decisions, though direct behavior measures are still needed.
