IMPLEMENTATION OF POSTERS FOR CANTEEN STAFF AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MARIBOR

On September the 9th 2024, the University of Maribor took the next step in implementing the EDU-FIT canteen recommendations. 

These recommendations have been developed by a panel of nutrition experts from the project and are based on research on the best practices for school nutrition and the contributions taken from the 1st EDU-FIT workshop on the significance of developing healthy eating habits. The final product is a simple, visually attractive, and easy-to-read poster with actionable tips to help canteen staff prepare even healthier meals for the students of the universities involved in the consortium. The poster has been translated into 5 languages and can be downloaded from our resources page and used for free. 

After the development and pre-implementation phases, canteen workers from Croatia, Portugal, Slovenia, and Slovakia were surveyed to assess their confidence when preparing healthy meals. This was followed by the implementation phase, where the posters were put up in the worker's common area. 

Eat healthy and stay healthy - this is a recipe for the successful development of healthy lifestyle habits!
