This activity (Fruits day) was well celebrated in partnership with Delhi public school, India. The first step taken towards working together was to outline and share the collaboration objectives as far as the activities concerned which included clear definition of the aims to be achieved through the partnership. The element of the centre of the objective was how to ensure the intake of fruits by students promote well-being and their mental health. In biology, balanced diet is an element under nutrition which talks about the importance of fruits intake in promoting well-being and mental health.

The next step taken was to develop a collaborative plan in order to create a detailed plan outlining roles, responsibilities, timelines and resources needed for collaboration which included activities such as how to source the fruits from the local markets, the hygiene process (washing and slicing the fruits) and presentation on the benefits associated with consumption of different types of fruits. Furthermore, we engaged in the monitoring and evaluation of progress made from both ends by regularly assessing the progress of partnership initiatives, gathering feedback from participants and making adjustments as needed to ensure a successful and sustainable partnership.

In addition, evidences of the activities (video on power point presentation on the benefits of fruit consumption, photographs on the purchase of the fruits from a local market and the hygiene procedures of handling the fruits) was shared by both partner schools which actually show cased the impacts of the partnership by instigating learning new things (types of fruits and benefits) Skill development (how to negotiate the prices of fruits in the look on my kids among orders).
