Senior, Elizabeth
- Abstract
The article discusses the correlation between school canteens and healthy eating promotion, based on a project in which volunteers at Maroondah Secondary School assisted canteen staff in increasing social connectedness. The project examined if social connectedness can help reduce obesity by working in the canteen. Volunteers also acquired personal skills after the project aside from building social capital and community connectedness.
