European projects of the European Health Organization
The European Health Organization regularly works across Europe to raise awareness, provide training, and facilitate dialogue on major public health challenges. Here are the highlights of recent years.
An innovative nutrition education program
The childhood nutrition program was designed to address the issue of childhood overweight and obesity. Its goal is to improve health by applying three key principles of action:
Observation, by collecting health indicators among young children and linking them with health and social determinants;
Prevention, by reducing the factors that cause health problems —malnutrition, overweight and obesity — through education and exploration of the links between the five senses and nutrition.
