This year's VivaBiH Fest under the motto "say YES to veganism" was held in Sarajevo at the Holiday Hotel on November 4 and 5.
Festivals of this nature are a great opportunity to enrich knowledge about health, try new and delicious food and promote a sustainable and empathetic lifestyle.
My participation in this festival was not accidental. I have been cooperating with the "Association of Vegans and Vegans of BiH" for some time, so they invited me to be a part of this inspiring event once again.
I had the honor to open the second day of the festival with my lecture on "Nutrition and Longevity". Then, in the culinary workshop "Meals that rejuvenate", I prepared sweets, which are not only simple and tasty, but also very nutritious.
For me, one of the most important things about this festival was the interaction with the audience and other participants. The reactions to the "rejuvenating sweets" were fantastic, and many wrote down the recipes, which I am very happy about.
I met many people, we exchanged experiences and ideas and they inspired me. Also during the festival I saw some dear famous faces.
Panel discussions, education and vegan food exhibitors were just part of the rich program. Key topics such as the ethical aspects of veganism, the health benefits of a plant-based diet and innovations in the world of vegan cuisine were discussed.
I hope that festivals like this will continue to attract the attention and support of the community because I firmly believe that they play a key role in promoting awareness of a healthy lifestyle, empathy towards animals and protecting our environment.
