Event details

Food is a major part of our daily lives. From a young age we are exposed to aspects of food production, food gathering, cooking, eating and food waste. However everyone has a different perspective on these things. To examine the diversity of views on this subject we are holding a science exhibit as well as a drawing and colouring competition for young people aged 6 to 16.

The art will explore children’s perceptions of landscapes, food, sustainability, and equity in North Yorkshire. This we can contrast with art work from school children in East Africa. It also provides an opportunity to showcase research from the Archaeology and Environment Departments at the University of York that touch on themes of fair and equitable societies. We welcome the public, families and children to participate with us.
