As part of the ongoing healthy living campaign ‘Caqlaq’, Fundacion Mapfre along with Middlesea Insurance is organising healthy living workshops for parents.
These workshops are provided for free with the aim of helping parents bring up their children in a healthy environment. During the seminars, parents receive valuable tips on a number of topics such as how to lead an active lifestyle and good eating habits. During the seminar, parents also enjoyed sharing their experiences with other parents.
The Institute of Prevention, Health and Environment within Fundacion Mapfre embarked on a nationwide campaign last year sponsoring ‘Caqlaq’, a healthy living campaign, in a number of local primary schools for children aged seven to nine. This campaign is endorsed by the Ministry of Education and Employment and the Ministry of Health.
“When we started the ‘Caqlaq’ campaign in local primary schools last year, we received excellent feedback from school administrations, students, parents as well as government bodies. This year we are building on last year’s momentum, continuing with educational, fun sessions with children at schools and adding some new elements such as the parent workshops which strengthen the reach of this campaign,” said Alfredo Munoz, president and CEO of Middlesea Insurance.
As part of the campaign a total of 4,000 books are being distributed to students and schools to reinforce the message.
