From May 12 to 15, the Fish for Health Project participated in the 28th Brazilian Congress of Nutrition (CONBRAN 2026), held in Curitiba, Paraná, where it presented the educational game Turma do Peixoto: Fish Route in the Nutri Saber exhibition area.
Developed as part of the Fish for Health Project, the board game was created by nutrition student Giovanna Myuke and designed for children and adolescents. Through characters, question cards, challenges, and fun facts, participants follow a learning journey into the world of fish. Throughout the game, topics such as nutrition, health, sustainability, and knowledge of different fish species are explored, combining entertainment and nutrition education in a single experience.
Throughout the congress, the game was also displayed in the Nutri Saber showcase, allowing attendees, students, and professionals to learn about the educational initiative. In addition to the physical version of the game, a QR code was available, providing access to the digital version and related project information.
The presentation attracted the interest of visitors, who were introduced to an innovative nutrition education strategy based on game-based learning. At the end of the event, a copy of the game was raffled among the participants.
The game presentation at CONBRAN was led by the project’s nutritionist and science journalist, Natália Santos de Mello Franco, and contributed to expanding the visibility of the Fish for Health Project’s activities, reinforcing the importance of initiatives that bring science, nutrition, and society together through accessible and engaging educational tools.
Fish for Health Project Participates in the 10th SIMCOPE and Reinforces Its Commitment to Healthy and Sustainable Nutrition
The Fish for Health Project participated in the 10th Symposium on Fish Quality Control (SIMCOPE), held in Santos, São Paulo, bringing together researchers, professionals, students, and representatives of institutions involved in the fish production chain. As an event sponsor, the project took part in a variety of technical and scientific activities, contributing to discussions on food quality, food safety, nutrition, and sustainability.
Throughout the symposium, strategic topics aimed at strengthening fish consumption in Brazil were discussed, including food legislation, inspection and quality control, artisanal fisheries, school feeding programs, and food and nutrition education initiatives. The event also fostered collaboration among the different sectors involved in the production, processing, and distribution of aquatic foods.
Participation in the 10th SIMCOPE reinforces the Fish for Health Project’s commitment to disseminating scientific information and developing initiatives that promote fish as a healthy, safe, and sustainable food. The exchange of knowledge and experiences fostered by the symposium strengthens the project’s activities with communities, educational institutions, and food security programs.
Through partnerships and outreach activities, the Fish for Health Project continues to promote the importance of fish in the human diet, contributing to improved quality of life and to the strengthening of sustainable food systems.
