To mark the launch of NUTRIR – the Food Literacy Programme, Skope – Museum of Medicine and Health welcomed Vera Cruz Primary School for a session dedicated to discovering how to put together more mindful meals.
During the workshop, the group discussed healthy eating and each participant created their own plate based on the T-Plate — a physical and educational model that, in a simple and visual way, illustrates the importance of diversity across food groups in the right proportions for a balanced meal.
There was also time to explore the importance of hydration, with a tasting of flavoured waters and teas made with ingredients from our garden.
The pupils also had the opportunity to visit the museum, where they discovered interesting facts about the history of medicine: how babies were fed in the past, how healthcare has evolved, and some of the instruments used over time.
The launch of this programme aims to strengthen food literacy in primary schools and contribute to greater knowledge and the adoption of healthy eating habits from an early age.
NUTRIR – Food Literacy Programme is the result of a partnership between the Casa Hermes Foundation, NOVA Medical School and Costa Nova.
