Events
On the 2nd and 3rd of December 2023, São João da Madeira hosted, at the Oliva Creative Factory, the first edition of Veggie Christmas. Around 2000 visitors were able to enjoy vegetarian and vegan food, with a Christmas theme.
From the typical Christmas market, to show cooking and lectures, the offer was vast and, of course, guaranteed success!
The Talk Neuro to Me (Fala-me Neuro) team gave a talk entitled "Effects of sugar on a vegetarian brain" where they clarified basic concepts of the brain, how appetite is regulated and the effects of a vegetarian diet and sugar on the brain.

Veggie Christmas
In partnership with LOLit (“Low literacy at play”), a European project on health literacy, we took neuroscience to the streets!
“Let's Talk Neuro in the Park” took place at Parque Verde do Mondego in Coimbra and included activities aimed at children and adults to promote literacy in neurosciences. In this Health and Longevity Square, questions about the brain and mind were answered in an interactive way, using anatomical models of the brain, material to get your hands dirty and interactive content. The event will be open to everyone and just show up for an informal conversation over the brain and let the conversation flow. There will be space for questions and lots of interactive learning about the brain and mind!
