Castelli
International School
How educating and empowering the youngest of eaters can create the demand for a more sustainable food system, one school meal at a time.
“Tribusana thanks Castelli International School (CIS) for opening its doors and allowing us to implement a new, participatory approach to inspire a true sense of ‘healthy tribe’ within its school community.”
The Challenge
The primary goal was replacing traditional processed
convenience foods—like nuggets and fish fingers—with
nutritious whole foods. The hurdle wasn’t just selection, but
doing so without increasing food waste, ensuring students
actually enjoyed the shift.
School Mission
“To develop inquisitive, caring, well-rounded
individuals who will make a positive impact
towards creating a sustainable global
society.”
The Timeline & Process
In 7 months, Tribusana facilitated 11 workshops to help students and families
adopt healthy eating habits.
