PROmedLIFE final meeting and stakeholder workshop / 23.05.2025
On May 13 and 14, O2 hosted the final meeting of the PRIMA PROmedLIFE project, an initiative focused on enhancing adherence to the Mediterranean diet through a multi-actor approach. The project promotes the adoption of healthy eating habits while minimizing the environmental and economic impacts of food production and processing. PROmedLIFE also emphasizes effective food communication and education through tailored training programs for primary and secondary students, their families, and all age groups—from children to older adults.
The meeting brought together 51 participants, representing a wide range of stakeholders and contributors to the project’s success.
