The interactive event titled “Healthy Eating in Primary Education” was successfully held on Monday, January 26, 2026 at the Municipal Library of Naoussa, with enthusiastic participation from children and parents.
The event marked the first activity of the initiative “Responsible Consumers of Tomorrow” within the framework of the PLAYFOOD project, implemented by the non-profit organization EduQuest in collaboration with the 3rd Primary School of Naoussa “Galakeia”.
Children of primary school age, along with their parents, had the opportunity to take part in a hands-on, experiential workshop where learning was combined with play, teamwork, and creative expression. Through various activities, students explored the main food groups, discussed the importance of balanced nutrition, and discovered how simple daily choices can contribute to proper growth and overall well-being.
The event’s guest speaker, nutritionist Despoina Papadopoulou, guided the children through interactive exercises and discussions, presenting key concepts related to food groups, nutrient balance, and practical ways to incorporate healthy eating habits into everyday life.
The warm response from the audience and the active engagement of the children highlighted the importance of nutrition education from an early age and underscored the role of schools and local communities in fostering responsible consumer habits.
EduQuest continues to advance the “Responsible Consumers of Tomorrow” initiative, aiming to empower children through educational experiences that promote health, sustainability, and conscious decision-making.
The next event of the initiative will follow soon, and detailed information regarding the program and date will be announced during the next period.
