1. “Free from gluten-free” campaign
Through “Free from gluten free” campaign, we aimed to inform people about the graveness of gluten intolerance and introduce our project as a potential solution. People were told to answer one question before listening to our explanation: Did you know that some people cannot digest gluten? Many people (64 people) answered that they did not.
We successfully transferred our knowledge about gluten intolerance such as celiac disease and gluten-free diet, which is the only possible solution for the current patient. Furthermore, in order to spur participation and provide some taste about gluten free diet, visitors had the chance to enjoy both gluten free and non-gluten free brownie.
After tasting, they were asked to choose which of the two they presume to be gluten free. Surprisingly, many people failed to choose the correct answer, which was A brownie. For those who got correct answer, we randomly chose two recipients and rewarded with a gluten free cookie. Many students, for the first time, learned that gluten is a constituent of flour and that some people must only feed on specialized food that is cooked without gluten.
Furthermore, we created a recipe video for gluten free brownie and uploaded on our face book. The unconventional and somewhat more time consuming recipe proves that alternative solution for gluten free diet is essential. The video was displayed during the campaign as well.
