Wrapping Up NutriWellB

As the NutriWellB project ends, we reflect on the journey marked by collaboration, innovation, and meaningful contributions to nutrition, wellbeing, and digital literacy. Since its start in January 2023, the project has addressed the urgent need to combat misinformation in health and nutrition by equipping young people, educators, and professionals with critical thinking and fact-checking tools.

From the very beginning, collaboration has been at the heart of NutriWellB. The consortium worked together seamlessly across transnational project meetings and workshops. These meetings fostered the exchange of ideas and strategies, leading to the development of high-quality outputs. Among these are the eBook on Nutrition and Wellbeing Fact-Checking, an online training course, and the Guidelines for Higher Education. Each of these outputs reflects the collective effort to promote healthy digital habits and scientifically validated approaches to nutrition and wellbeing.

Throughout the project, NutriWellB also engaged directly with its target audience through a pilot course and multiplier events. These initiatives provided valuable feedback, ensuring the developed tools and resources are practical, accessible, and impactful. The pilot course, offered in six languages, helped participants develop critical thinking skills, distinguish reliable sources from misinformation, and adopt healthier habits. Meanwhile, the multiplier events, held across partner countries, raised awareness about the importance of combating misinformation and showcased the project’s achievements to diverse audiences.

As NutriWellB concludes, its impact lies in the partnerships it has built, the resources it has created, and the communities it has empowered. While the project’s official timeline ends, its impact will continue through the adoption of its tools and methodologies by higher education institutions and professionals across Europe.

We thank everyone who contributed to NutriWellB’s success—our partners, participants, and supporters. Together, we have made a significant contribution toward addressing misinformation in nutrition and wellbeing, and we look forward to seeing how these efforts inspire continued progress in the years to come.

Successful collaboration: Highlights of the last NutriwellB project meeting 

The constant collaboration between the NutriwellB project partners from the beginning played a key role in ensuring that the project continued without too many delays and in accordance with the proposal. This continuous collaboration, which was mainly managed remotely, was reinforced by the transnational meetings that have been held since the beginning of the project.

After the kick-off meeting on 6 and 7 February 2023 at the Complutense University of Madrid, the project activities officially started. On that occasion, the partnership discussed the key aspects of the project after an initial presentation and established an initial roadmap, focusing on the expectations related to the main work packages (WP).

Subsequently, on 18 and 19 September 2023, a hybrid meeting was held at Nova University in Lisbon, during which the partners were able to assess progress on the various work packages and define course development and outreach strategies. Decisive was the hybrid meeting held in Skopje on 3 and 4 April is to finalise the content of the training course and define the student engagement strategy and awareness-raising campaign, all of which are key activities for the timely completion of the project. 

The final meeting, held in Alcalá de Henares on October 22 and 23, focused on the implementation of the pilot training course and the project's final activities. This meeting provided a valuable opportunity to review the tutor guidelines, assess the current status of each partner's students, and discuss effective strategies for promoting the content in an engaging manner. The partners explored various strategies to disseminate the project results, such as the eBook, training course, and guidelines, as effectively as possible during the upcoming Multiplier Events in each partner country. Additionally, the meeting included a review of the design and content of the Higher Education Guide and Awareness Campaigns to ensure the project's sustainability after its completion. The discussions resulted in a clear understanding of the aims and objectives of the campaigns.

In summary, the onsite transnational project meetings have been crucial for the project's implementation. These gatherings have enabled consortium partners to enhance team cohesion, providing opportunities to connect on a personal level beyond virtual interactions. They have served as genuine trust-building experiences, boosting the team's efficiency and nurturing positive working relationships, which will pave the way for future projects and collaborations.

A Guide for Universities to Promote Digital Well-Being and Healthy Eating

In the digital age, where information travels at lightning speed, universities play a crucial role in preparing young people to navigate a sea of data that is often contradictory and misleading. The Nutriwellb project has developed an Implementation Guide for Higher Education with the goal of promoting a critical approach to information, particularly in the fields of health and nutrition.

Why Is It Important?

Online misinformation, especially in the health sector, is an increasingly pressing issue. Fake news and unscientific advice can negatively influence food choices and overall well-being. The Nutriwellb guide provides the necessary tools to:

·        Educate on Critical Thinking: Teach students to assess the reliability of sources and distinguish facts from opinions.

·        Promote Digital Literacy: Equip students with the skills to safely navigate the online world.

·        Encourage Healthy Eating Habits: Provide scientifically validated information on nutrition and debunk common myths.

What Does the Guide Contain?

The guide is further enriched by the outcomes of the Nutriwellb project, which has produced a series of valuable resources:

·        E-Book on Nutrition and Fact-Checking: A comprehensive handbook on nutrition and wellness that emphasizes fact-checking and offers healthy recommendations from nutritionists or verified sources of nutrition information.

·        Training Course: A training program students, focusing on critical digital thinking, fact-checking, and developing healthy nutrition habits.

·        Dedicated Website: An online platform offering additional information, including a table that lists nutrition hoaxes versus verified facts, and interactive tools to help users make informed decisions.

·        Social Media Resources: Additional content is available through social media platforms like Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, and YouTube, providing continuous updates and educational resources.

The Nutriwellb guide offers a valuable contribution to this goal, equipping universities with the tools to promote digital well-being and healthy eating habits among young people.

 Learn to Detect Misinformation about Nutrition and Personal Well-being

Are you aware of the false information circulating on digital platforms, aiming to influence our eating habits and views on personal well-being? A study conducted by the University of Dublin found that only 2.1% of nutrition-related content on TikTok aligns with internationally recognised health and nutrition guidelines. In Spain, 57% of social media users have fallen for fake news at least once, according to Redline.

This is why NutriwellB aims to raise awareness of the widespread misinformation regarding nutrition and well-being. In particular, it seeks to combat the unethical and sometimes illegal marketing tactics used to shape public opinion and habits in these areas.

To address this issue, NutriwellB offers a free online course specially designed for university students, focusing on female students, who are often the primary targets of misleading health and nutrition information. This course will teach participants how to identify unethical or illegal tactics, develop digital critical thinking skills, and recognise reliable sources of information related to nutrition and well-being.

The course is available in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, English, and Macedonian, and is open to university students and young adults aged 18 to 26. No prior knowledge is required, and the course is designed to be completed in three weeks, running from September 30th to November 30th in its pilot phase. Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate, and all course materials are digitally accessible to ensure inclusivity for individuals with disabilities.

You can register now at bit.ly/NutriwellB-Course to secure your spot.

In addition to the course, NutriwellB offers an e-book with practical tips for verifying nutrition and well-being information (available for download on the project’s website) and provides free educational videos on its YouTube channel.

Stay informed, protect your health, and join us in the fight against misinformation!

In addition to the digital campaign, multiplier events will be organised in the partner countries. These events are an integral part of the campaign strategy and aim to complement the digital efforts by showcasing the key outputs of the project to the target audience. The events are designed to foster collaboration and learning between different stakeholders, thereby increasing the overall impact of the project. Each partner is planning to conduct their event starting this August until November 2024.

Through the digital marketing campaign and multiplier events, the project aim to raise awareness amongst students, especially young female students, about the importance of fact-checking the information they find online. In the same time, we would also like to increase awareness among educators about their crucial role in combating misinformation and supporting students. The project partners are positive, the awareness campaign will enhance the project's impact and visibility.

Pilot Courses Launching in Five Countries! 

In September, the NutriwellB consortium will start an exciting and key phase as we launch our pilot courses simultaneously in five different countries, each presented in the participants' local language. The objective of the pilots is to evaluate the suitability and effectiveness of our course content, which includes comprehensive learning modules and interactive exercises. We will also assess our online platform's overall course design and functionality before launching a final public version of the online resource.

The pilot phase will involve recruiting volunteer participants from each partner country. We are particularly focused on recruiting individuals who belong to the NutriwellB project's target groups. Our priority is to engage higher education students from institutions such as NOVA, UCM, and UAH or with similar profiles from ACEEU, FCAT, and CKM. We are especially looking to enrol young women aged 18 to 30 who are either nationals or residents of Spain, Portugal, Germany, North Macedonia, and Italy.

Each consortium member will handle the recruitment process, tailoring it to their specific contexts and characteristics. Additionally, we will launch a general awareness campaign to support recruitment efforts, utilizing each partner's communication channels to maximize reach and engagement. Once enrolled, participants will complete the three modules of the online course, which include exercises, self-assessment questionnaires, and a final evaluation test for each module. Throughout this journey, participants will receive dedicated support from local tutors appointed by each partner organization, ensuring they have the guidance and assistance needed to succeed.

Upon successfully completing the course, participants will be awarded a course certificate with a reference of a workload equivalent to 25 to 30 hours of study, corresponding to 1 ECTS. Participants will fill a final questionnaire that will serve as a feedback tool on various aspects of the course. It will help us assess the relevance and quality of the topics covered, the effectiveness of the learning content, and the overall organization of the information presented. The insights gained from this feedback will be later incorporated to optimize the course.

We are excited about this next step in the NutriwellB project and look forward to the valuable contributions of our pilot participants!

NutriWellB is about to Launch an Innovative Learning Platform 

The NutriWellB team is thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of its innovative learning platform, designed to support the way students develop critical skills and digital literacy when it comes to information related to nutritional health and well-being habits. The platform has easy accessibility, user-friendly navigation, and is rich with interactive modular educational content which is made out of three core modules: Digital critical thinking and fact-checking, Nutritional Health, and Wellbeing Habits.

The first module, on digital critical thinking and fact-checking, helps students develop the ability to distinguish accurate information from misinformation. The module equips students with essential skills to navigate through the clutter of digital information. The second Module, Nutritional Health, covers the fundamentals of nutrition for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It explores topics such as dietary requirements, food groups, micronutrients, and the impact of diet on overall health. The third Module, Well-Being Habits,  promotes wellness beyond physical health—covering mental, emotional, and social aspects of wellbeing. In each of the Modules, through interactive multimedia content and exercises, students learn to evaluate sources of information critically, distinguish facts from opinions, and develop a critical mindset necessary for informed decision-making.

Building on the digitalised content of the Modules, the NutriWellB learning platform offers a user-friendly interface with an intuitive design that makes navigation easy. Its interactive content, including videos and quizzes, keeps learners engaged during the learning process, while personalised progress tracking enables them to monitor their progress. The platform is also accessible from various types of devices and inclusive for all types of learners, including those with a visual/audio disability.

The development of this platform has been a collaborative effort among NutriWellB partners. From initial concept to implementation, the project has been driven by a shared vision of empowering individuals through knowledge and skill development.

 NutriwellB Online Training Program

Misinformation and fake news are an urgent problem in our society. This happens also in nutrition and wellbeing habits, and young people are especially vulnerable. This is the basis of NutriwellB project, to address the proliferation of fake news and misinformation related to nutrition and health, responding to the adverse impact of false information on public health, gender discrimination, and reinforcing negative stereotypes and this is the motivation for which we have developed the upcoming NutriwellB Online Training Program.

What you’ll learn?

The curriculum developed covers those areas that arose as important in previous activities of the project, including the 5 national reports in WP2. Three modules are envisaged in the training, in this order:

1. Fact-checking and critical thinking.

2. Nutritional health.

3. Wellness habits.

Here are some of the learning outcomes of the course:

• Understand the main concepts related to digital marketing, analytics and how they are applied when a campaign is designed to persuade customers, thinking critically and identifying “low ethical tactics”.

• Be aware of individual dietary needs, the value of nutritional health in general, the importance of their own well-being (including the physical, emotional and mental aspects) habits and to always rely on information received from reliable sources of information. 

• Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills to prevent the influence of media and social media content on their own nutrition and well-being habits (e.g., separating popular trends from evidence-based practices).

• Be capable of developing and maintaining healthy eating habits and well-being routines or habits according to their personal needs.

Target group

This course is designed for Higher Education Students of every discipline, without the need of further specialization. Our project and this training are especially focused on young women, but every gender will be welcomed and admitted. 

Materials will be offered in local languages, so it is not needed any special qualification in foreign languages. As it will be delivered as online training, it is recommended that students have experience in online courses and some minimum digital skills.

Webinar Recap: 

Highlights from the eBook Launch Event

How can we avoid fake news on nutrition?

 Everything you need to know about NutriWellB’s E-book

The aim of NUTRIWELLB is to promote fact-checking related to nutrition and well-being, to respond to the alarming increase of fake news and misinformation in these fields. For that reason, as part of the research work, an e-book has been published by the Nutriwellb team. 

Since there was no clear consensus in scientific literature or among the public about the precise definition of fake news, this e-book adopts a wide approach and attempts to address the problems deriving from a variety of factors: the overwhelming availability of information online that hinders cross-checking and assessment of the reliability of sources, misrepresentation of nutritional information, the promotion of nutritional choices for economic profit by lifestyle influencers or assumptions about nutrition and health that are present in everyday culture but rely more on faulty cause-attribution rather than on scientific findings.

In an era like the one we live in, dominated by clicks, likes and alarmist headlines, it is essential to choose reliable sources from which to obtain correct information on scientific issues. The choice of our sources of information is especially important in a field as changing as nutrition, so we must contrast the sources of everything we read: it is the only way to be able to form critical opinion. 

The growing interest of the population in health has had a positive impact on the number of studies and the availability of funds for the scientific community. This abundance, nevertheless, has to deal with a phenomenon called “infoxication”, in which the quantity of information severely hampers discernment between up-to-date and sufficiently proven information and obsolete or biased statements. For this reason, research for this project has prioritised applying international consensus from official sources, such as the World Health Organization or national health ministries, together with academic publications.

The main objective was to offer specialised information and tools for higher education students, professors and other interested stakeholders to debunk fake news about food habits in the mass media (the press, advertising and magazines) and the Internet.

International regulations on nutrition and fake news were used in the introduction, with references to the sustainable development goals of the United Nations, recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO) and regulations from the European Union. The next two sections were devoted to national legislation on nutrition and fake news, good practices on nutrition, well-being and fact-checking related to online content. Both topics were analysed more specifically for selected countries: Germany, Italy, North Macedonia, Portugal and Spain. They offer references for stakeholders interested in the topic regarding which aspects of the national contexts are important in order to develop strategies against fake news on nutrition and well-being from a legal and a social perspective. 

References to national legislations and good practices are followed by specific recommendations for fact-checking online content in respect of nutrition and well-being. This section includes information on nutritional literacy and food labelling; identification of fake news and media labelling; mass media and dietary behaviour; idealised representations and gender stereotypes in social media, the social media and eating disorders.

The last section of the e-book is a toolkit for nutrition and well-being fact-checking for higher education, including some preliminary findings based on a questionnaire that interested stakeholders or professors can implement to measure nutrition and well-being fact-checking among targeted audiences. That section also examines fake news compared to real information on food and nutrition identified through reliable scientific and public sources. The sources of information for the first two sections are regulations, recommendations, global strategies and national legislation related to nutrition, health and fact-checking. In the third section, good practices refer to initiatives by public and private stakeholders. On the other hand, the sources of information for the last two sections are academic contributions from nutritionists and experts in fake news and misinformation.

Continuous Collaboration 

of NutriWellB Partners

The collaboration among NutriWellB partners has been constant since the beginning of the project, and it has played a fundamental role in guaranteeing that the project continues advancing according to the proposal. This continuous collaboration has been enhanced thanks to the transnational project meetings that have taken place since the beginning of the project.

The consortium “kicked-off” the project on February 6th and 7th, 2023, at Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) in Spain. The first meeting was more than a formal introduction. During the meeting, the consortium discussed the fundamental aspects of the project and  established the initial roadmap for project activities by brainstorming and discussing expectations for the main work packages (WPs).

The consortium reunited hybridly for their second time at Nova University of Lisbon on September 18th and 19th, 2023, seven months after their first meeting. The main focus of this meeting was to assess the progress made across various work packages and further refine the development of the course and the dissemination strategies. The meeting was also enriched with the vibrant culture of Portugal. 

Most recently, on April 2nd and 3rd, 2024, the third project meeting took place in Skopje, North Macedonia. The meeting was also conducted in a hybrid mode, to allow all partners to contribute effectively. The discussions were primarily focused on WP3, WP4, and WP5, which are essential for the completion of the project on schedule.

The meeting was mainly centered on the development of the Training Course and its implementation. The meeting provided a valuable opportunity to review content development guidelines, assess the current status of each partner's contributions, and address technical queries essential for the piloting session. The partners also discussed the best way to  recruit the participants and deliver the content in order to be engaging, the practical assignments, the video for each module and other minor issues. The plan and progress on the creation of the Guide for Higher Education and the Awareness Campaigns were also presented. The meeting resulted in a clear idea of the goals and objectives of the campaigns. 

Overall, the onsite transnational project meetings have played an essential role in the implementation of the project. The meetings have allowed the partners in the consortium to strengthen the team spirits as each had the opportunity to learn more about each other beyond the screen. They have been authentic trust-building experiences that would improve the efficiency and working relationships of the team. 

The consortium looks forward to the final meeting that will be held in Madrid in October 2024!
