I am pleased to confirm the next episode of the CCD Rounds on 26 October. This time the live event will focus on childhood overweight and obesity in cities. We are fortunate to welcome guest presenter Jo Jewell from UNICEF’s headquarters in New York and Professor Corinna Hawkes from the University of London for our fifth CCD Rounds webinar.
Join this session to learn about Children eating well in cities, the UNICEF
roadmap to support nutritious diets and healthy environments. The
roadmap outlines ways to tackle the growing prevalence of childhood
overweight, obesity, and malnutrition, focusing on urban contexts.
Drawing on work from London, Cape Town and the Philippines, we will
also learn how engaging children and families in research using
qualitative methods can help us better understand their “lived
experience” and unlock new policy approaches to promote nutritious
diets in urban settings.
Please sign up for the live event here
26 October
15.00 CEST and
09.00 New York local time
I hope you have seen the first
four episodes of our series – if not, you can watch them on our
dedicated portal here. CCD Rounds are an opportunity to learn about
diabetes and obesity prevention directly from the people executing
real cases of health promotion, activities and encouraging best
practice policy initiatives.
