Title of the Project

Healthy nutrition for elementary school children 2011 (The City of Velika Gorica, Croatia)

Project’s idea

The Project tries to help to develop healthy eating habits among children in elementary schools in The City of Velika Gorica. Our elementary school need help in creating healthy eating atmosphere in schools. School needs to be a place where children can have a free access to healthy food, where they can learn how to eat healthier and where they can develop healthy lifestyle habits.

The aim of the project is to:

1.) Educate children, teachers, school staff about the importance of healthy eating habits in schools
2.) Educate parents on how to support healthy eating habits among their children and in their families
3.) Conduct a survey among elementary school children about their eating habits in order to get the information which will help us to bulid a local campaign activities
4.) Make a educative broschure and cook book for elementary schools
5.) Make a little cook book for children and their parents on how to make a healthy lunch box
6.) Make an educative theatre play on healthy nutrition
7.) Set a campaign activities in order to involve local community in this project
8.) Spread the experience with the rest of the school’s educative community and the cities involved in the project
9.) To organize “children’s, teacher’s and school staff eating together”

The project should help to establish a cooperation between partners on this issue which could help in promoting positive and healthy attitudes towards life.
Moreover, we would like to make a specific local action on how to help our local schools in establishing healthy eating habits in school. With this local campaign, the whole local community will be involved in this project which impacts on sustainability of this project.

We will promote the healthy lifestyles among children by providing equal access to healthy and proper diet to all elementary school children in our city. This will be enabled by making all the above mentioned activites ( from 1. to 9.).

This project involves all the educative community (students, teachers, families), to open the European dimension, to extend to share, learn, exchange, improve…
