School Meals

Designing for Services, Exchange Aalto University, Finland, M2.1, 2024

This project aims to tackle the declining participation in school meals in Finland, particularly in Espoo. Despite being a free service that supports student well-being, participation in school meals has been decreasing, especially among girls.

This project uses service design techniques to explore the reasons behind the decline and seeks to find creative, student-driven solutions. By conducting pilot experiments in a few schools, the initiative aims to improve the dining experience, food quality, and sustainability, contributing to both student well-being and environmental goals.
