CLEVERFOOD: Designing educational pathways on Sustainable Food Systems
We are pleased to invite you to a 2.5-hour teacher training workshop focused on the design of educational activities related to sustainable food systems and the CLEVERFOOD for everyone Exhibition (https://food2030.eu/exhibition/)
During the workshop, you will:

Digital games to promote Healthy eating
Host: Emeritus Professor K. Kyriacou

The Mediterranean diet is a protective pattern against chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. The Cyprus Ministry of Education's curriculum teaches healthy eating to pre-school children using various tools, including digital games, which are the focus here. We will showcase two games, Pop It and Hit It, plus a brief video. These tools are based on the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid framework. The games are currently being used as educational tools to promote healthy eating among pre-school children and have been approved by the Ministry of Education.
