UniLodz Supports Senior Citizens!

A group of researchers from the University of Lodz organised an intergenerational picnic at the WIGOR Senior Day Care Centre in Tuszyn. The picnic's goal was to promote knowledge about healthy eating. The event included numerous attractions: tasting of bee products from the "Boży Dar" Educational Apiary, a student vs. senior quiz with prizes, a discussion on healthy school lunches and a musical performance. Students and teachers from the Queen Jadwiga Primary School in Wodziń Prywatny, as well as the mayor of Tuszyn, Witold Małecki, participated in the event.
