Educational activities included learning about the wheat growth process and dramatizing stories related to grain.

At the Ljudevita Gaja school in Nova Gradiška, the celebration featured poems, recitations, and skits focused on the importance of respecting food and avoiding waste. The program included musical performances and a message from local priest Mario Sanić, who spoke to the students about the importance of valuing meals and being mindful of global hunger.
