The Alimentarium is already renowned for its pedagogical approach and, since spring 2019, now offers a new initiative aimed especially at language exchange classes.

This unique programme intends to:

Show the three fundamental dimensions of food: physiological (fuel for the human organism, a factor in fortifying the body and helping it grow), psychological (pleasure, sensory perception of tastes) and sociological (belonging, identification).
Highlight the similarities as well as the differences in the eating habits in the German- and French-speaking parts of Switzerland. Did you know, for example, that French-speaking Swiss like brown eggs, whereas their German-speaking compatriots prefer white eggs?

It includes:

Group welcome at the Museum
Bilingual discussion led by one of the Alimentarium’s experts on the importance of food, and food-related issues
Bilingual guided tour of the Alimentarium’s three exhibition sectors
Discussion regarding the exhibition and the general theme
Tasting museum-made cordials
Teaching resources, in French and German

For whom? When? How much?

Target audience: Secondary I (from age 10) to secondary II
Number of participants: Two classes and accompanying adults
Times: Morning or afternoon, depending on the teachers’ preferences
Duration: 1 h 30 min to 2 h
