Under WP3, one of the tasks is Nutrition, which focuses on the development of training services to promote healthy behaviour in terms of healthy nutrition, and can be offered via different service configurations; such as a health literacy program, health promoting self management tools or as (in)formal care supported service. Therefore, in this task an interactive website that offers various modules has been developed. In the workshop for launch NUTRIAGEING website, participants have the opportunity to deep understand the objective of this section, and how they can use this information to make healthy dietary choices. An overview of the nutrition contents was performed and the information was briefly explained. Also in this section of the NUTRIAGEING website, older people have access to contents related with clinical nutrition and nutritional labelling. During the presentation, links with other parts of the website were performed, for example with the enjoy section, where older people have the opportunity to apply the acquired knowledge using crossword puzzles, true or false questionnaires, among others.
