In 2020, eight educators from Australia, Canada the UK and USA were scheduled to facilitate a workshop at the World Public Health Congress (see above). Unfortunately due to COVID-19, the Congress was converted to a virtual conference and our workshop could no longer proceed. 

One of the objectives for our workshop was to connect educators who are teaching our future nutrition and dietetics workforce about sustainable food systems to promote future research and ongoing collaboration. We have therefore created this online platform to share educator details and showcase some learning and teaching practices. 

Over 50 delegates from 11 countries, including Ireland, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Nigeria, Zambia, Malawi, Australia, USA, and Canada gathered at University College Dublin for this 2-day event (NB: not all participants were in this photo).

Read about this event in the ICDA newsletter: "It appeared relationship building was successful with feedback indicating collaboration plans among many of those who attended. Participants emphasised the importance of nurturing the network, continuing to share research and practice, and coming together again in 2024 to maintain momentum.  Plans are in motion to ensure a presence at the International Congress for Nutrition and Dietetics (ICND) 2024 in Toronto, a plenary lecture at the EFAD Congress in Budapest in October 2023, and more long-term research goals that will bring us back to Dublin for ICND2028!"
