Internships at Slow Food UK

Slow Food is a global, grassroots organisation with supporters in 150 countries around the world that links the pleasure of food with a commitment to the community and the environment. A non-profit, member supported association with charitable educational programmes, Slow Food was created to counter the rise of fast food and fast life. WHAT DO WE MEAN BY A BETTER WAY TO EAT? We work to reconnect people with where their food comes from and how it is produced so they can understand the implications of the choices they make about the food they put on their plates. We encourage people to choose nutritious food from sustainable, local sources which tastes great. Slow Food UK runs a number of educational projects and a Local Group network which promote and enjoy the Slow Food way of life at a local level. OUR EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS We run a number of educational projects which aim to spread the Slow Food message as widely as possible. SlowFood Baby – a project to help parents understand the role of taste in introducing first foods to their babies. SlowFood Kids (previously The Taste Adventure) – a fun interactive experience for children to experience all five senses and to explore and enjoy food. Slow Food on Campus – an initiative that educates and brings the enjoyment of food to University students across the UK. The Ark of Taste – a unique catalogue of exceptional food products in danger of disappearing due to current food production and distribution systems
