HKSAR, China, March 25, 2024 -- Photo 4: Students promoted plant-based diets with schoolmates, making an impact that matters.
Vitasoy International Holdings Limited (“Vitasoy”) is committed to providing delicious and sustainable plant-based food and beverages. In the second half of 2023, Vitasoy kicked off its Nutrition Exploration Programme (the “Programme”) with more than 3,000 students and parents participating in a series of fun and educational activities to learn more about plant-based nutrition and sustainable living.
Engagement activities stimulate curiosity
This year, the Programme was well-received, with a series of interactive activities promoting plant-based diets. The journey began with an online video quiz game, which drew approximately 1,100 responses. More than 60 students and their parents from the schools and organisations with the highest participation rates joined our chocolate latte art workshop for a fun dessert-making experience using plant-based milk.

What’s more, Vitasoy partnered with St. James' Settlement to promote plant-based diets to 120 students from six primary schools through gardening experiences and plant-based diet activities, including a STEM workshop for students to assemble their monitoring devices and use a mobile application to track the real-time status of the plant-growth environment.
Questions around this news
What activities did Vitasoy's Nutrition Exploration Programme include?
The programme featured an online video quiz, parent-child chocolate latte art workshops using plant-based milk, and gardening and classroom activities. In a STEM workshop arranged with St. James' Settlement, students assembled monitoring devices and used a mobile application to follow conditions around plant growth.
How did students share what they learned through the programme?
Students were encouraged to pass along their knowledge of plant-based nutrition and sustainable eating to their schoolmates. The release says more than 1,800 schoolmates heard from participating students, who were invited to act as “little teachers.” One student suggested hosting plant-based food gatherings at home for classmates.
What is plant-based milk?
Plant-based milk is a beverage made from plant ingredients rather than dairy milk. Common ingredients include soybeans, oats, almonds, and other grains, nuts, or legumes. Products vary in taste, texture, and nutrients, and some are fortified with nutrients such as calcium or vitamin D.
What does STEM mean in a school workshop?
STEM is an abbreviation for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. A STEM activity often brings these subjects together in practical tasks, such as designing, building, testing, or using a tool to observe and understand a process.
