And that's a wrap from us here in Brussels ๐ง๐ช for the #COCREATE Final Conference! ๐
Thank you so much to everyone who made the last 5๏ธโฃ+ years such a rewarding and productive experience, and a special thank you to all our youth advocates. We couldn't have done it without you. โฅ๏ธ
Wow! Olga Zhiteneva from @WHO_Europe says โSelf regulation is not enoughโ
Their research found marketing restrictions prescribed by the EU Pledge are so weak that they gave most food companies surveyed a lot of leeway to continue marketing unhealthy products to children.
Iโm in Brussels for @EU_COCREATEโs final conference!
The conferenceโs aim is to confront health by co-creating policy with youth.
Some amazing people with eye-opening discussions and talks .
โฆand excited to speak later today about @BiteBack2030 junk food ads campaign.
Really enjoyed @EmmaCalvert3 talk at the @EU_COCREATE final conference on why self regulation of marketing of unhealthy food to young people does not work ๐ฑ๐บ
.@DevSharmaMYP from @BiteBack2030 โFrom the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep I am bombarded by unhealthy food ads. The first person to text me when school finished on a Friday was Dominoโs with a deal!โ
๐ฑ Social media's influence on young people's health and attitudes can't be underestimated. CO-CREATE's insights into its impact are eye-opening. ๐
Now at #COCREATE, a discussion on unhealthy #foodmarketing with Lubos, @WHO_Europe, @beuc, @Movendi_Int, @BiteBack2030 ๐ฌ๐ฒ
Day 2โฃ is in full swing, here in Brussels! ๐ง๐ช
