Vegetarian and vegan food and ethics are increasingly part of the curriculum. Discussing them in class opens up minds to new food ingredients, religious diets, environmental awareness, healthy eating, food intollerance and catering for everyone.

School caterers also often benefit from support and information when catering for vegetarian and vegan diets.

Coursework and Talks

There are a wide range of people who can give talks, cookery demos and support on vegan and vegetarian topics. See our guide to getting vegetarian presentations and cookery demos.

Support for Caterers

There are many resources available for caterers wanting to do good vegan and vegetarian dishes, as well as covering for dairy intollerance and other special diets. We'll be listing them here shortly. Meanwhile, contact activeg for support.

Support for teenagers and students wanting to eat vegan or vegetarian

Particularly when you first go veggie, it can be hard to get the support and information you need from those around you to make it straightforward. Existing veggie and vegans understand and can help. See our young veggies and vegans page for further details of how to get the support you need. Also we give ideas and resources to help you encourage your school to get more veggie input in the curriculum and kitchen.
