Vegemi's Winning Formula
Rooted in proven pedagogical strategies:
- Character-based learning – Leveraging engaging characters to support memory, learning recall, and positive behaviour modelling.
- Gamification and storytelling - Integrating game and narration to deepen engagement and improve knowledge retention.
- Play-based, social and creative learning - Encouraging exploration and understanding through play, peer interaction and collaboration.
- Child agency and self-efficacy - Empowering children to take ownership of their choices, boosting confidence and decision-making skills.
- Sensory food education - Using multi-sensory experiences (sight, touch, smell, taste) to build familiarity and reduce food neophobia.

"The materials are versatile, visually delightful and exciting for children. The instructions are clear and it really is a ready to go package whilst being easy to adjust to the needs of the group of children. Even children who wouldn't always be interested are keen to join in. A truly functional and exciting programme." - Teacher Testimonial, Europe Region.
"Children connect strongly to Vegemi. They talk about it every single day and even those children who aren't always focused know, for example, which superpowers they'll get from each fruit and vegetable. We particularly notice the impact during mealtimes. For example, they will comment on their Vegemi being happy after eating strawberries and blueberries in their lunch box and children connect what they are eating with the vitamins they contain and the related superpowers. There has been a noticeable change in the food children bring into school to healthier options" - Teacher Testimonial, MENA region.
"Since the introduction of the Vegemi initiative at my child's school, we’ve noticed a remarkable change in her attitude towards healthy eating. She has tried a variety of fruits and vegetables that she previously refused to eat. It’s wonderful to see her enthusiasm for nutrition growing, and I believe this positive change will have long-lasting effects on her overall health and well-being." - Parent Testimonial, MENA region.
