EDUCATIONAL INTERVENTION AND SOCIAL ASYMMETRIES: ACCESS TO FOOD AND HEALTH

 Date: April 27th 2016

 Venue: FPCEUP

 

The Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Porto (FPCEUP) and the Portuguese League for Social Prophylaxis (LPPS), with the support of the CIIE (Centre for Research and Intervention in Education) are organizing the seminar "Educational intervention and social asymmetries: access to food and health".                   

This event marks the completion of SIMMETRY project – Nutritional and Social Equity Promotion, developed by the Portuguese League for Social Prophylaxis and funded by the Public Health Initiatives Program from the Ministry of Health, under the EEA Grants, where Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are the donor countries.

Along the past thirteen months, this project intervened with different agents in the social field to improve professional and organizational, aiming to facilitate the access to an adequate nutrition by groups in economic and social vulnerability.

It is intended, with this seminar, to create the space for reflection and discussion around the right to an adequate nutrition and health, the symbolic and emotional dimension of food, aging and citizenship, intervention policies and practices, among others.

It also aims to put in perspective the experience of interveners and investigators from a broad range of subject areas, in what regards to the challenges faced when working with groups in vulnerability.

Finally, this event also intends to facilitate the space for sharing practices, namely between countries from the south and the north of Europe, involving the participation of representatives of projects of social intervention in Norway.
