We welcomed the Gelpeixe team to the Casa Hermes Foundation for a training session on the NUTRIR project—the School Food Literacy Program—and how it is being implemented by the Casa Hermes Foundation within the school community.
This opportunity for sharing and capacity-building aimed to introduce the project’s methodology, content, and educational activities, enabling the program to now be replicated and developed within the Gelpeixe community.
NUTRIR promotes food literacy among elementary school children through practical, participatory activities tailored to young children, encouraging more conscious food choices and healthy lifestyle habits from an early age.
We believe that the impact of these projects grows when they are built through a network of partnerships that share a commitment to education, health, and the community.
The NUTRIR program is based on the Prato em T (T-shaped Plate), which emerged from a partnership between the Casa Hermes Foundation, NOVA Medical School, and Costa Nova, with the goal of promoting food literacy and healthier lifestyle habits starting in childhood.
🌐 As part of this initiative, the website www.pratoemt.pt was also launched, where you can learn more about the concept, access healthy recipes, and view weekly menu suggestions.
