THE PROJECT
"Menja sa en família" (eat healthy with your family) is an educational project led by the Fundació Ametller, which promotes healthy eating habits. It also educates children and young people regarding responsible consuming and promotes physical activity.
The main goal of the project, which is made up of a series of resources aimed at primary school teachers and families with children between age 6 and 12, is to provide general information and advice on healthy eating, and make available to everyone a tool for planning and organising weekly meals.
It is also a resource made to generate awareness among children and young people regarding the importance of having good eating habits, so as to enjoy good health.
THE WEBSITE
The website is a basic work resource for school use that will contain all the basic information on healthy eating/diet, while also providing interactive resources and games so as to consolidate the learning process.
THE APP
The app, which is designed for family use but can also be used at schools, will contain information of different foods and nutrition, as well as the family menu creation tool.
