Our Young Changemakers Celebrating World Food Day with the Little Wiggly Maggots from the Magi Farm

Sanur, Bali—16 October 2024 In celebration of World Food Day 2024, Bali Island School (BIS) hosted a hands-on workshop for Grade 5 students that focused on sustainability practices for food waste management and how Magi Farm initiatives through small units of waste management help the Government’s efforts to support the SDGs. 

Grade 5 Students Going to Feed the Maggots with Food Waste

As a school committed to empowering students in an active and engaging learning environment, Bali Island School hosted a hands-on workshop with Magi Farm, a social enterprise focusing on food waste management and sustainability practices for young learners. The workshop occurred at the Bali Island School Multi-Purposed Room and engaged 33 Grade 5 students.  

During the workshop, our students learned about Magi Farm’s collaboration with local waste management units and had a hands-on experience with maggots used for composting. At the end of the session, baby maggots were left in the Grade 5 classrooms for them to feed with food waste.

Supporting the SDG 12 and SDG 17

“Food waste is a global issue. This workshop inspired us to be more mindful of consumption and offers our students a chance to learn about waste management and sustainability.” – Vika, Marketing Manager of Bali Island School.

The collaboration between BIS and Magi Farm underlined BIS’s commitment to fostering globally-minded learners and critical thinkers and promoting active community engagement.
