This event combines a scientific and interactive approach to explore the role of cultural differences in nutrition and their impact on health and public health outcomes.

The first part of the event will include the presentation of research findings related to dietary patterns across different cultural groups, focusing on how cultural norms, traditions, and beliefs influence food choices and health behaviors.

The second part will involve an interactive discussion with participants, encouraging critical reflection on:

• cultural determinants of nutrition
• links between dietary habits and disease patterns
• health inequalities related to nutrition

The event will continue with a presentation of thematic stands showcasing traditional and culturally specific foods from different populations. Participants will have the opportunity to explore diverse dietary practices and engage in discussion about:

• the nutritional value of traditional foods
• potential health benefits and risks
• the relationship between diet, lifestyle, and prevalence of chronic diseases

By combining research, discussion, and experiential learning, the event aims to enhance cultural awareness, promote culturally sensitive health care, and support more effective public health strategies.

The event is intended for students, health care professionals, and public health experts, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and exchange of best practices.
