and enjoyable everyday strategies in relation to food and physical activity to improve health and
prevent overweight and the risks associated with it. Applications by interested learners who

Main activities Programme + Programme translation:
While overweight is an increasingly widespread health risk in all countries of the European Union,
experience shows that it can be effectively prevented through only relatively small changes in habits
related to eating and physical activity. With the assistance of a team of experienced nutritionists, the
participants will learn on and practically experience food and physical activity as the most
important aspects of overweight prevention, and will improve their knowledge on easily applicable
possibilities to make health-oriented decisions in daily life. Regular cooking sessions will allow to
practically experiencing a variety of inexpensive, tasty and healthy food, and how easily it can be
prepared. The learners will also practically get to know small and simple physical exercises easily
incorporated into daily life. The diverse culinary and cultural backgrounds of the participants from
different European countries will be one of the main “ingredients” to make the workshop a fruitful,
European learning and tasting experience. For reaching this aim, continuous exchange between the
participants about experiences and habits related to food and physical activity will be an important
element of the workshop.
