GR - Understanding Healthy Nutrition

Thematic - Climate Change and Circular Economy

The first PLAYFOOD discussion panel in Greece brought together primary school children, parents, and teachers at the Municipal Library of Naoussa to explore how everyday food choices influence both personal health and the environment. Through a highly interactive and participatory format, families reflected on the importance of building healthy habits together, learning how balanced nutrition, responsible food management, and sustainable consumption are closely connected.

Children and parents took part in creative activities such as designing their own “Food Cupboard” with balanced daily menus, encouraging dialogue about food choices in a fun and engaging way. An interactive session led by a nutritionist helped participants understand the main food groups, the importance of portion control and food storage, and how small changes at home can support both wellbeing and environmental protection. The session concluded with reflections and discussions that strengthened awareness and motivation to adopt healthier eating habits in everyday life.
