The Focus on Food Campaign was an RSA flagship education initiative. This campaign builds on two projects completed in 1997: the RSA's Cooking Counts and the QCA's Food in Schools. The project was run by Design Dimensions, a charity, at the RSA at Dean Clough. \n\nThe Campaign aimed to raise the profile and importance of practical food education and help secure, sustain and strengthen the position and status of food in the National Curriculum. The work focused on the making of food as the key experience in learning about the social importance of food.\nSee: http://www.waitrose.com/focusonfood/\n\nThe RSA's involvement ended in February 2003 but the project will continue under the administration of Design Dimensions.\nRecords include publicity and printed material including teaching packs and photographs of events.
