Healthy eating for the young
Miele received an award from the Alcobendas Sport Founda- tion (Fundal) in recognition of its support for sport in Al- cobendas for its collaboration in sessions on healthy eating and sport.
The Menina, as the award is known, was collected by Cristina Reque, Marketing Director of Miele Iberia during the Fundal Annual Gala. The gala featured important personalities from
different sports. Fundal organ- izes this event primarily to recognize the patrons and ben- efactor companies that support its sports and solidarity pro- ject, which is promoted by the 25 clubs that comprise it, and its membership of more than 7,000 athletes, ranging from un- der the age of eight to veterans.
One of these companies is Miele, which collaborates with Fundal, mainly in the sessions
on healthy eating and sport. This is an informative project that aims to raise awareness among young people about the importance of a good diet, provide them with the basic knowledge about it and high- light the bene ts of sport for health. Through this type of initiative Miele demonstrates its unwavering commitment to social causes. The sessions, which involve students from
public and private schools in Alcobendas, combine theory with practical examples and a nutritional education course with healthy eating tips is held at the Miele Experience Cent- er in Alcobendas. Students also participate in fun gastronomic workshops in the active kitch- ens of the Miele showroom to learn how to create their own energy bar, make an isotonic fruit shake and more.
