Our Cafeteria Project centers around the central question of “How can we improve our school cafeteria?” The program uses a project-based learning framework to outline a process for students to lead discussions and decisions within a school and with school leaders on how to improve the cafeteria environment and mealtime experience. During the program, an educator meets regularly with a small group of student leaders to examine what students currently like about their cafeteria and what they would change. This group of students facilitates activities with the greater student body to generate ideas for a project centered on making change in the cafeteria. Projects could range from a mural in the cafeteria to “free-sit Fridays.” Adult stakeholders and decision makers are consulted throughout the project, yet the project emphasizes involving student voice in critical decisions and supporting student choice. The program culminates with the student group and school working collaboratively to make the cafeteria project a reality, then celebrating the process and goals they achieved.
