The Health Promotion staff have organised a fantastic 3-hour weekly health programme throughout the duration of Summer School as part of the Health4EUkids project, in which Malta is proudly participating to combat childhood obesity. 🌟
📅 Every week, students aged 7-10 attending St George Preca College Primary School engaged in a series of fun and educational activities including:
🏃 Physical Activity: Kids enjoyed energetic exercises and games on the school grounds, promoting fitness and teamwork.
🥗 Nutrition Lessons: Our young participants learnt about the different food groups and participated in hands-on activities to understand healthy eating habits.
🧠 Mental Health & Well-being: Children explored various feelings and discovered effective ways to manage stress, fostering emotional resilience.
Let’s support our children in building a healthier future! Together, we can make a positive impact on their lives. 🌈💪

The “HEALTH4EUkids” Joint Action aims to implement health promotion and prevention strategies for child obesity across European countries. It seeks to share best practices and research findings, particularly focusing on the initiatives Grunau Moves from Germany and Smart Family from Finland. The project involves knowledge transfer, cooperation between member states, policy development, and the promotion of healthy lifestyles in families and communities. Its goal is to prevent childhood obesity, increase physical activity and healthy diet, and ensure the sustainability and transferability of successful practices to other member states.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s EU4HEALTH Programme under the Grant Agreement no 101082462
