Skupnost in pogovor: Oblikovanje prijetne šolske menze



Postrežba hranljive in zdrave hrane učencem je ključnega pomena za njihovo zdravje in dobro počutje.



»Učenci so z našo novo jedilnico zelo zadovoljni. Zdaj je veliko tišje, ko jedo, in resnično uživajo v preživljanju časa v tem prostoru. Kot učiteljica vidim, da menza pozitivno vpliva tudi na njihovo splošno počutje in akademski uspeh,« pravi.
Skupnost in druženje
Njegov najljubši vidik nove menze je prilagodljivost možnosti sedenja. Stara jedilnica je imela dolge mize, zdaj pa ima prostor ločene mize in stole različnih višin, kar omogoča udobnejše in vsestranskejše razporeditve sedenja.
Nellie in Signe, ki sta v istem razredu, se strinjata, da so klopi njuno najljubše mesto, ker se jima ni več treba gnetti skupaj.
»Nove klopi so mi všeč, ker lahko sedimo štirje na eni strani in trije na drugi. Tako nikomur ni treba sedeti ob strani,« pravi Nellie.



»Lepo je zdaj sedeti nekoliko bolj zasebno s prijatelji. Prej so vsi sedeli skupaj, zdaj pa lahko izbiramo, ali želimo sedeti v veliki skupini ali le z nekaj ljudmi,« pravi Azjargal.


Kako smo torej uspeli z novo šolsko menzo?
Veliko prednost dajemo zagotavljanju, da so naše rešitve usklajene z izobraževalnimi cilji šole in jih podpirajo. Za mednarodno šolo Dibber na Švedskem je bil naš cilj izboljšati občutek dobrega počutja in ustvariti pozitivno izkušnjo kosila v skladu z njihovim konceptom "Dober obrok".

- Vključeni smo že v zgodnjo fazo načrtovanja in pogosto skupaj s stranko razvijamo celotne koncepte pohištva ter poskrbimo, da se ujema z njenim profilom in blagovno znamko na splošno, pravi Anna.
And for headmaster Jeremy Brooks, it was very important to be able to get help with the furnishing of the new dining hall from start to finish.
- The reason why we chose AJ Products is that we could sit with them from the very beginning and tell them what our needs are. They have been with us every step of the way, right up to where we sit today. My area of expertise is education. It's not about furniture or designing communal dining spaces. But having their expertise means that together we've been able to create some magic in our new canteen.


Developing school meals at Dibber
All of the meals at Dibber schools and preschools in Sweden are developed under one umbrella. The concept has been developed by Dibber with the school's chefs and educators to create meals that are more than just the food on the plate. All food is prepared centrally in a common kitchen and then cooked locally at each school and preschool. In this way, it can be ensured that the food is of the same high quality and nutritional value regardless of which school the children attend.
The concept is based on four pillars: good ingredients, good knowledge, good environmental thinking and a good experience around the food. The time the students and teachers eat should be a calm and pleasant time where there is an opportunity for conversation between the students, but also between students and teachers.
Our interior design proposal in brief:
With a mixture of different seat heights, sections and a calm color scheme, we created a pleasant and inviting dining area that both adults and children can enjoy for many years to come.We can help you furnish your canteen or school dining area
