On February 15th, at ciTechCare, the book “Who Wants to go to the Village Market?” was presented, following the recognition of the Veggies4myHeart project, led by Cátia Pontes, as the best national project of the year in the Community Nutrition and Health category Public.
The ceremony was attended by several researchers and other professionals who wanted to know more about how this project is helping to promote the consumption of vegetables in preschool children.
The story written by Maria de Fátima Martins, Beatriz Nogueira, Joyce Zanker, and Guilherme Moreira, professionals and students in the field of nutrition, is available in some local children’s schools in Leiria.
Marlene Lages, Miguel Oliveira, Maria José Gamboa, Cristina Nobre, and Eduarda Abrantes were responsible for the technical and scientific review, and Diana Domingues was accountable for the book’s illustration.
Thanks to the support of the Leiria City Council, it was possible to deliver this illustrative and educational book to all Kindergarten Schools in the municipality of Leiria.
