Webinar: Mushroom Schools Education Program.
Join us for a special MushroomLink webinar with Leah Bramich
In a MushroomLink first, we’re excited to welcome AMGA CEO Leah Bramich for an engaging webinar on 3 July, where she’ll introduce the newly launched Mushroom Schools Education Program.
Designed to spark curiosity and encourage healthy eating habits in young Australians, the program features a fun new look and the introduction of the Mushroom Family characters - making mushroom education more accessible and engaging for early learners.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from Leah about the program’s goals, how early education can shift perceptions about food, and why winning over our littlest consumers can have a lasting impact on mushroom consumption.
About Leah Bramich
Leah Bramich needs no introduction to Australian mushroom growers. She has been at the AMGA since 2019 and led the association for the past three years with energy and vision.
But what many may not know is Leah’s deep passion for education, particularly when it comes to inspiring young children.
The Mushroom Schools Education Program is a project close to Leah’s heart. Conceived and championed by her from the very beginning, the program has grown through multiple iterations, shaped by Leah’s determination to find what truly resonates with young learners. Her commitment to making mushrooms fun, familiar, and accessible for the next generation is evident in every detail of the new look, tone, and characters.
