Some examples of Eat Well Tasmania partnership projects include:
Cooking
for One or Two is a State-wide project with Legacy
Hobart. The project aims to promote a healthy lifestyle
by enhancing the nutrition, food preparation and food safety
skills of persons living on their own or with a partner.
The project actively involves participants in cooking workshops.
Wicked Vegies was
a partnership project implemented at Lauderdale Primary School.
The overall goal of the Wicked Vegies project was to improve
the nutritional intake of primary school students by promoting
increased consumption of vegetables and fruit so as to promote
good health and prevent diet-related health problems. Wicked
Vegies involved students investigating, designing and producing
a snack that was fast and easy to prepare, using locally
produced vegetables and fruit as a main ingredient. Students
showcased their Wicked Vegie snacks at a Celebration Day
at the school towards the end of 2004. The snack ideas developed
by the students were documented into a Wicked Vegies Snack
Ideas Book.
Plan
to Eat Well resulted in the development
of a wall planner that aimed to provide organisations
that cater to the needs of older Tasmanians with
a useful resource that offered practical ideas for
promoting health and wellbeing (and particularly
healthy eating), while encouraging socialisation
and involvement in related community activities.

to Eat Well Report.
