"Schnitz & Schwatz" from March on Star TV
Following its debut last fall on regional television, the children’s TV show «Schnitz & Schwatz,» which focuses on nutrition and exercise, is now getting a national platform. Starting March 6, 2011, Star TV will air the second season every Sunday, featuring 20 new episodes.
The 20-minute program aims to sensitize primary school children to a balanced, fun diet and to convey the joy of physical activity without pedagogical finger-pointing, but with fun and adventure. The format is co-financed by Suisse Balance, twelve cantonal health promotion organizations, Bio Suisse and various foundations. Schnitz & Schwatz" is produced by Katakult Fabrik für Projektkultur in Aarau.
In a competition with movement games and quizzes on the topic of nutrition, teams of primary school classes of the same age from different cantons compete against each other to win the day. The participants cook and eat together and make discoveries at an outdoor location - for example on a farm, in a greenhouse, on a chicken farm, in a cheese dairy or sugar factory. In each program, Bernhard Russi also presents exercise tips for the home together with children and an expert from the Institute for Sport and Sport Sciences at the University of Basel. The programs are presented and edited by nutrition educator Lea Guidon. School classes can register on an ongoing basis.
Every 2 weeks on Star TV, every Sunday, 10 to 11 am. Repeats in the interweek.
