The launch of the programme will take place at the Ionian Parliament buliding (Moustouksidou 3), on 18 Friday October 2024, at 7:00pm. There will be an informative lecture, detailing the actions for the involved organisations, while there will also be a photography exhibition for the public, by the Corfu Photography Club, on the subject of breastfeeding.

Friday 18 October, from 5:30-9:00pm and Sunday 19 October, from 10:00am to 2:00pm and 5:30-9:00pm.
A breastfeeding-friendly community plays a crucial role in supporting the good health of infants and their families, improving public health outcomes, eliminating social discrimination and promoting a culture of inclusion and support for all families.
