Xenios Polis successfully hosts the Tast’Age Multiplier Event on nutrition and malnutrition prevention in older adults

On May 30, 2025, Xenios Polis successfully organized a Multiplier Event as part of the Tast’Age project, titled:
“Vocational Training and Skills for Nutrition and the Prevention of Malnutrition in Old Age.”

The event was held in a hybrid format, with 30 participants in total.

Participants included professionals, caregivers, trainers, and learners active in the field of elderly care. During the event, attendees were introduced to:

  • The objectives and key results of the Tast’Age project
  • The training modules focused on nutritional care and early detection of malnutrition
  • Practical digital tools and resources for improving everyday professional practices

The Multiplier Event provided a valuable opportunity to present the project outputs, promote knowledge exchange, and gather constructive feedback. Participants highlighted the importance and relevance of the content to their work, particularly in promoting better care for older adults through nutrition.

Context
Malnutrition remains a critical issue for older adults in Europe. Studies show that more than 50% of individuals aged 65+ are at nutritional risk, yet many professionals lack the proper training to address it. Age-related physiological changes, reduced appetite, medication side effects, and care system gaps all contribute to this challenge.

Tast’Age aims to:

  • Deliver high-quality vocational training to combat malnutrition
  • Provide open and flexible access to educational tools and best practices
  • Support the use of digital learning in professional training
  • Foster cross-sector and cross-country collaboration among experts and stakeholders

With this Multiplier Event, Xenios Polis contributed to disseminating the project’s tools and knowledge, while reinforcing the project’s commitment to improving nutrition care for seniors across Europe.

The Tast’Age consortium includes 7 partner organizations from France, Portugal, Romania, Greece, and Spain, working together to address common challenges through innovation and education.
