Business
We offer lectures, training courses and workshops for the business community (employees, MT, cooks and/or caterers) about the health risks of excessive sitting (sedentary behaviour) and healthy eating at work. Depending on the budget and policy, it is possible to start short or longer projects with us to offer and encourage healthy eating at work.
Additional training
We provide additional training on the health risks of excessive sitting (sedentary behavior) and nutrition to prevent or reduce these risks. This can be voluntary sedentary behavior (due to work, for example) or involuntary (due to a wheelchair-bound existence).
