CommFABnet is a E uropean C ommission‐funded project aimed at significantly improving the information flow between E uropean research projects in the fields of food, agriculture and fisheries, and biotechnology (the so‐called bioeconomy) and stakeholders, such as businesses, policy makers and E uropean citizens. This includes children and young people, who are the target group of an educational toolkit that is being developed by the B ritish N utrition F oundation, a partner of the CommFABnet project, for use in classrooms across E urope. This paper focuses on the development of the educational toolkit, and in addition outlines the role of educating and inspiring young people in the science communication process, and how other networks or projects can learn from the CommFABnet model.
