The topic of the festival was promotion of health and constructive thinking for well-being. Among other exhibitors were representatives of companies trading with food supplements, healthy food producers, and companies promoting trainings for healthy life and positive thinking. This was a great opportunity to mainstream H-CARE achievements in front of community of special interests towards active citizenship and well-being.

Zgura-M Company had the chance to promote H-CARE project within the Fifth International Fair of Enterprises from Social Economy held between the 31st of March and the 03rd of April 2016. We participated as exhibitor in a specially arranged stand which was situated in one of the most communicative locations in the International Fair of Plovdiv. H-CARE Project was presented by its leaflets and banner, as well as PowerPoint presentation was given on the 2nd of April 2016. The most useful part of the event was the face-to-face contact with professionals who provide career guidance to different people who are very interested to participate in H-CARE training programme. Thanks to our presence there we succeeded to extend the list of people involved as stakeholders in H-Care project.
The H-CARE project was presented during the 12th International Workshop on Nutrition & Health Claims Europe. It was dedicated to 10 years of Food, Nutrition & Health Claims – Status Review and Future Outlook. The event took place in Crowne Plaza Hotel Le Palace, Brussels, Belgium – Friday, on February 5, 2016.
Prof. Costigiola from EMA did a thorough presentation during the event.
