When do I call myself a Home Economist? "All the time and when it isn't necessary" Donna Pendergast. Love that answer 🤩 I am a Home Economist. Say it #loudandproud

Absolutely agree! Home Economics is in many schools but needs the recognition, funding and timetable allocation it deserves to ensure each generation is food literate.
Watched it - @ClaireByrneLive v informative, @darinaallen “wealth of a nation is health of a nation” - @IFHE_HomeEc @ATHE_HomeEc @HomeEcConnect - as a Home Economics trained teacher strongly believe cookery skills should be compulsory - don’t you agree @nevenmaguire @McHughJoeTD

Ireland's response to the health and wellbeing of it's population is strongly represented in their policies and Home Economics curriculum. #LeadingTheWay #HomeEconomics #essentialskills
Teaching people food and cooking skills takes place already in subjects such as #HomeEconomics in schools! It does exist and there is a practical food exam as part of 50% of the externally assessed marks @ClaireByrneLive @ATHE_HomeEc @StAngelasSligo

I downloaded this #HomeEconomics #foodwaste classroom resource today... it's fabulous! Great Middle Years activities and posters.
Interesting and relevant research findings from Danielle O Sullivan on the area of food waste in the home economics classroom at the @ATHE_HomeEc #atheagm #homeeconomics

Embedding the SDGs into Home Economics education is a no brainer. Simple food solutions in the hands of our students. Excellent work @RethinkFoodUK
Our work gives children & young people a voice… using the SDGs as a framework we asked them to consider the options, potential solutions and causes of action to food based challenges, the outcomes were AMAZING!
