Hungry for some flavour and fun? You've come to the right place!

From 23 September to 23 October 2024, 117 amazing students from 17 schools took on a delicious challenge: capturing the heart and soul of Malaysian school lunches.

Food lovers and culture enthusiasts, this one's for you!

TASK & OUTCOME

In this student photo project, our talented photographers snapped everything from mouthwatering local dishes to the real stars behind the school canteen counters. They put the spotlight on the meals that power students through their day, and the hardworking folks who make it all happen.

The photo is complimented with a short text (100 words) in German and English explaining the photo e.g. explaining the relationship between the people or the food in the photo, how they like/dislike the food, how they wish to improve the school lunches and why they chose the photo to look the way it looks.

Check out the incredible photos and see how Waktu Rehat Essenspause turned lunchtime into an art form!
