\nHEALTH4EUkids is a project that focuses on the field of health promotion and prevention of non-communicable diseases such as childhood obesity. This Joint Action (JA) aims at the implementation and transfer of good practices and the identification of specific risk factors for childhood obesity.\u00a0 The European countries participating in Health4EuKids are Spain, Greece, Belgium, Croatia, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Portugal and Slovenia.<\/p>\n
The implementation process for the transfer of Best Practices includes the transfer of knowledge, actions and close cooperation between the owners of two tested Best Practices Gr\u00fcnau Moves and Smart Family. Furthermore, the project will also focus on knowledge generation and policy development to foster public health investment in Health Promotion, Disease Prevention, and Management of Non-Communicable Diseases in the child population and its environment.<\/p>\n
Health4EUKids <\/strong>aims to prevent childhood obesity<\/strong>, increase physical activity and promote healthy eating <\/strong>in this population, with an emphasis on social norms, recognition and self-esteem in disadvantaged areas selected by Member States.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>Objectives<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>
\nTo promote healthy lifestyles in families with children and the community in the Member States participating in the project. In the framework of the project two good practices, Gr\u00fcnau Moves (deployed in Germany) and Smart Family (established in Finland), will be transferred to the different Member States participating in the project.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Specific objectives: <\/strong>\n
- \n
- To create knowledge and evidence on the requirements and prerequisites to be taken into account by each Member State for the transfer of a good practice.<\/li>\n
- Strengthen a cooperative approach to childhood obesity by facilitating the exchange of knowledge and learning skills between Member States and providers of good practice.<\/li>\n
- Select and implement actions based on the good practice “Gr\u00fcnau moves” of the Health4EUkids project that offer the best opportunity to tackle childhood obesity among participating Member States.<\/li>\n
- Facilitate the transferability and sustainability of good practices to Member States.<\/li>\n
- Improve the planning and development of policies to combat childhood obesity in Member States.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- WP4 Transferability and sustainability: <\/strong>Generate knowledge to focus on governance and systems, i.e. health and equity in all policies at local, regional, national and EU level, taking into account society at large to address childhood obesity and health promotion. Integration and sustainability of interventions to strengthen national efforts to tackle childhood obesity through the development of effective policies as part of a broader EU and Member States’ strategy for action.<\/li>\n
- WP5 Gr\u00fcnau Moves: <\/strong>Transfer the good practice “Gr\u00fcnau Moves” developed in Leipzig (Germany) to a set of disadvantaged neighbourhoods in different European countries, based on social work, community organisation and participatory processes. Interventions will be implemented in different contexts, aiming for sustainability and adapted to each culture and context, taking into account social, cultural and environmental conditions, as well as social determinants. The intervention focuses on building strong relationships, networks and social links, transparency, trust and activation.<\/li>\n
- WP6 Smart Family: <\/strong>Based on Finnish good practice, “Smart Family” aims to help Member States to develop a child obesity monitoring system adapted to national contexts, appropriate to policy requirements and sustainable over time. Development of different practices to support the development and use of childhood obesity indicators for health policy assessment and prioritisation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
<\/i>Expected outcomes<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>
\nAs expected results:<\/p>\n
- \n
