Aveiro hosted the Summer Medical School: Lifestyle – Aveiro Short Edition on 7 and 8 June. This special version of NOVA Medical School's educational project was held in partnership with the Casa Hermes Foundation.
Following the success of the Lisbon edition, this decentralised event further strengthens NOVA Medical School's dedication to fostering health and wellness within the Aveiro community.
The initiative took place at the Casa Hermes | Skope Foundation Health Museum and involved 20 children aged 6–12 from Bom Sucesso Primary School, who were invited by the Aradas Parish Council.
For two days, participants enjoyed free access to immersive activities focusing on nutrition, physical activity, mental health and science, as well as practical workshops and self-care exercises. The aim is to inspire healthy habits from an early age that will have a lasting impact on the children and their families.
Support for the event came from the Itau Scholarship — Instituto Técnico de Alimentação Humana, which guaranteed free participation for the children, as well as various local partners, including SMEG, SVR, Meliã Ria, the Aradas Parish Council, the USF de Aradas and the Aveiro Professional School of Tourism.
