The team travel to Sweden to share the kaupapa

In June 2023, Matt, Victoria, and Ella had the opportunity to head to Uppsala, Sweden to present some of the mahi being done at the International Society of Behavioural Nutrition and Physical Activity (ISBNPA) annual meeting. Our Te Hekenga Whaiora Project was shortlisted for an award(!) thanks to its innovative approach to health promotion within mental health services.

The team also took the opportunity to hear about other awesome projects from around the world, including kōrero from Aotearoa’s own Issac Warbrick about kaupapa Māori approaches to physical activity and linking in with the Health Cascade Network, a European group pushing the need for co-design in health promotion.
