Olympians’ food: baguettes but no wine

Some 15,000 athletes will get to feast on fresh baguettes, gourmet dishes, and environment-friendly French meals ー but no wine ー when Paris hosts the Summer Olympics next year. The company that will serve 40,000 meals a day at the Olympic Village presented its planned Olympic menu created by some of France's most-renowned chefs. Chef Alexandre Mazzia said his team will bring a "fun, gourmet, and healthy" touch to the Olympians' plates.

French food services company Sodexo was selected to oversee the catering at the athletes' village and other sites of the Paris Games. The company will take the 2024 Olympics as a great opportunity to present French dishes. The restaurant at the Olympics Village, which is meant to be the "biggest restaurant in the world," is expected to seat 3,500 people.

However, the French meal experience at the Paris Olympics has one exception: No wine, or any form of alcohol, will be offered to Olympians in the village, organizers said. Champagne and liquor will only be served during formal events.

Forest schools popular in Sweden

In Sweden, most people agree that muddy children are happy children. So, young students play outdoors as part of the national curriculum. But most of the teaching takes place outdoors in I Ur Och Skur preschools. I Ur Och Skur literally means "Rain or Shine." Managers of these forest preschools believe that a natural environment encourages learning more than just hearing and seeing lessons in a classroom.

I Ur Ock Skur schools started in 1985 and now offer "experience-based learning" across the country. Recently, more and more parents and children are becoming interested in these forest preschools because of climate change. In one of their schools, around 300 students are on the waiting list for a chance to attend.

Still, when it comes to teaching outside, the children's health comes first. Children who attend forest schools always wear proper clothes for the rain and the snow. After returning from the forest, the children eat warm lunch and go to the school porch to take a nap before going to the forest again. But when it's too cold or too hot outside, children have their lessons indoors.

Afghan Herat potters fear ancient craft may vanish

Afghanistan has a proud history of creating traditional pottery, and potters still use many of the same methods for generations. However, with the influx of cheaper plastic products imported from neighboring countries like Pakistan, Iran, and China, Afghan pottery is at risk of extinction. One potter said that in past years, their workshop sold between 5,000 and 10,000 flower vases in spring. This year, they didn't even sell 100 because of plastic flower vases in the market.

Local potters are seeking help from authorities. Another potter with over two decades of experience urged the government to restrict the import of plastic items. He believes that doing so would contribute to the growth of this art and craft. If they don't receive support, one potter seller fears that people who run pottery workshops may be forced to change their professions.

Potters fear that this historical art might soon vanish. Another potter who learned the craft as a child said that they used to create various types of items and sell them. They also held exhibitions for tourists. However, the ancient art of Herat pottery has experienced stagnation for the last two decades.
