Irish Multiplier Event

HEALTHNIC “Healthy and ethnic diet for inclusion” is a 2-year Erasmus+ funded project that promotes healthy eating based on traditional food from different ethnic cuisines. The main target groups come from various backgrounds including refugees, immigrants, long-term unemployed and indigenous groups, who wish to develop their food and cooking skills and interact in a multinational environment.
The coordinator of the project is the Vardakeios School of Hermoupolis (Syros, Greece), and partner organisations are: Danmar Computers LLC (Rzeszów, Poland), Diciannove Società Cooperativa (Genoa, Italy), Institute of Technology Tralee (Ireland) and Merseyside Refugee Support Network (Liverpool, UK).
A multiplier event was held in the TIRC Centre on the 25th of September, where Dee Doody from “Lets get cooking with Dee” gave a demonstration of healthy cooking dishes during the event. The participants were the TIRC’s women’s group who love to cook together. Theresa Elumelu was one of the participants and said: “The project was made our day because the information given made our women feel empowered about the food project.”
