Every project begins with a name. But some names carry history, land, and identity within them.

The International University of Cuanza (UNIC) held a nutrition fair as part of the celebrations for National Nutritionist Day. The initiative, organized by the Human Nutrition and Dietetics program in the School of Health Sciences, brought together approximately 200 participants on the institution’s campus, in an atmosphere marked by knowledge, interaction, and strong community engagement.

As part of the celebration of Nutritionist Day in Angola, we interviewed Dr. Olga Mbunga de Carvalho, a nutritionist and outgoing president of the Angolan Association of Nutritionists (AAN), to learn a little more about the work they do. 

MAHINE didn’t start completely from scratch. It actually grew out of the work done during the E+DIETing_LAB project, which focused on improving practical training in human nutrition and dietetics education.

The Universidad Europea del Atlántico (European University of the Atlantic, UNEATLANTICO) held, between January 19th and 23rd, the kick-off meeting of the European project Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) “Simulation-based training and digital technologies combined with a service-learning approach for experiential and reflective learning in nutrition and dietetic education” (MAHINE) funded by the European Union through the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) and aimed at strengthening training, innovation, and international cooperation in the fields of nutrition, agronomy, and health. 

The new Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) program ‘Simulation-based training and digital technologies combined with service-learning approach for experiential and reflective learning in nutrition and dietetic education’ (MAHINE), which is led by the Universidad Europea del Atlántico (European University of the Atlantic, UNEATLANTICO) and in which the Universidade Internacional do Cuanza (International University of Cuanza, UNIC) and the Iberoamerican University Foundation (FUNIBER) participate, has officially started its activity, with several virtual meetings conducted between partners to discuss the first steps of the project and the implementation of new digital tools to improve the training of nutritionists.

The Iberoamerican University Foundation (FUNIBER), is pleased to announce the approval of its project “Simulation based training and digital technologies combined with service-learning approach for experiential and reflective learning in nutrition and dietetic education (MAHINE)”, an international collaborative project funded by the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) program, which will be led by the European University of the Atlantic (UNEATLANTICO) and in which the Universidade Internacional do Cuanza (International University of Cuanza, UNIC) also participates.
