Childhood obesity is a major global and European public health problem. Students and teachers will be engaged in a series of activities, data collection methods and discussions with the eventual aim to address the issue of obesity.
Students are familiarised with the concept of nutrition, different type of food, modern nutrition habits, healthy and mediterenean diet. They do action research by reflecting on their own eating habits and they investigate other students' eating habits. They study food advertisements and discuss how these influence eating patterns.
They present and discuss their research results with their classmates and parents. Through this project students are familiarised with healthy food and diet, and integrate healthier nutrition patterns into their everyday life.
