Main steps
Methods
- Action will be undertaken in two fundamental locations: restaurants and workplaces
- There is a unique opportunity to positively influence restaurants’ menus as well as European consumers’ lifestyles and habits.
- To meet this goal, the partnership proposes to combine public and private expertise and to act in 5 successive and mutually-reinforcing stages:
-
- Inventory the existing programmes in order to know and better understand specific country requirements.
- Employees and restaurateurs will be polled throughout the 6 project countries in order to ascertain their opinions and preferences. Based upon expert advice and analysis, these surveys will lead to a series of recommendations.
- Simple tools will be developed to increase awareness, giving employees the means to act and employers the means to respond. This phase will involve healthy menu-based pilot schemes in restaurants.
- Evaluation of the first pilots
- Dissemination of best practice thoughout Europe and beyond
