The second public forum “School for All: What About Food?” was held in Ljubljana, organized by the Islamic Community in the Republic of Slovenia. The event was intended to discuss the dietary specifics of children and the possibilities for more inclusive school meals.<\/p>\n
I participated in the consultation as a moderator and content advisor. Guests at the event included representatives of primary schools, ministries, nutrition experts, and parents.<\/p>\n
In discussion with Miha Lobnik, advocate of the principle of equality; Irena Sim\u010di\u010d, expert in the field of school nutrition at the National Education Institute Slovenia; Branko Kumer, director of the Centre for School and Extracurricular Activities, and Ela Pori\u0107, who monitors meals in public kindergartens and schools at the Islamic Community in Slovenia, raised the question of how schools can better understand and take into account different dietary practices, thereby contributing to respect for diversity and equal opportunities for all children.<\/p>\n
The event confirmed that open dialogue between schools, parents, and institutions leads to solutions that strengthen an inclusive and respectful community.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
