Our ACTIONS to foster a culture of well-being and health and promote healthy eating
The WHP Programme, Workplace Health Promotion, aims to implement effective, structured measures that promote organisational change in workplaces, making them health-promoting environments and encouraging healthy choices and lifestyles.
Università degli Studi di Brescia has participated in the WHP Programme since 2022 and is part of a network of organisations known as the WHP Network (Workplaces Promoting Health).
S.A.P.O.R.E. (Sustainable And Pocket-friendly Options for nutritious and Responsible Eating) is a basic theoretical and practical course on healthy and sustainable cooking. The 2026 “Longevity Kitchen” edition will focus particularly on the importance of healthy ageing.
Thanks to the collaboration with ASST Spedali Civili (the city hospital), University staff and students can take part in:
- HPV vaccination sessions
- Vaccination sessions for influenza, COVID-19 and other vaccines offered free of charge by the Lombardy Region based on age or risk factors
- Infectious disease consultations
- Health promotion activities
Organised by the University in collaboration with the University Sports Centre (C.U.S.), the UniBs Run is open to students, academic staff, technical and administrative staff, and the wider community. It aims to promote sport as a way of life and a means of bringing people together, while fostering inclusive and sustainable development. Now in its fourth edition, the event attracted 450 participants this year.
