Belgian kids benefit from having a good education system that emphasizes creativity and healthy habits. I spoke with students of all ages to learn what is it like to grow up here.
For breakfast, we usually have strawberries which are a staple of our country. We have whole grains and vegetables for lunch. Sometimes we have beef stew for dinner because it is a traditional meal.
We live in houses outside of the town of Leuven near farms. It is very peaceful and gives us a lot of space to play outdoors.
We help our families with chores around the house such as cleaning our clothes and washing the dishes. Our job is to study so we focus on that.
Most of our parents are either professors at KU Leuven or work in the offices there. Some parents are employees in Brussels and live near Leuven because it is peaceful.
