On July 11, the Greek team held their final meeting before the summer break. This session marked the conclusion of the intensive phase, beginning with a brief recap of previously covered material. The focus of this session was on the benefits of sleep, highlighted by an inspiring speech from Prof. Stavroula (Lina) Pashou, Assistant Professor of Endocrinology at the University of Athens (NKUA). She presented data from studies demonstrating the direct benefits of quality sleep on weight loss.
Participants had the opportunity to share their thoughts about their experiences, as usual. They also engaged in small group discussions, facilitated by a trainer in each group who guided the conversation and recorded the main points. Looking ahead, the team plans to reconvene after the summer break to complete a total of five sessions. Additionally, Ms. Ioanna Dourou and Ms.Evangelia Drakopoulou from the 1ST YPE team was present, alongside healthcare professionals from ALEXANDRA Hospital. This included Ms. Vasiliki Markasioti (Dietitian), Ms. Paraskevi Kazakou (Endocrinologist), Ms. Panagiota Zacharaki (Biologist), and Mrs. Eleni Paraschou (Internal Medicine Resident).
