That's why we have focused on these topics by raising awareness and improving the capacity of youngsters from Guadeloupe, Martinique, Aruba, Curacao and St. Maarten to develop new attitudes in favour of a healthy lifestyle. During the project we were promoting a healthy lifestyle, thus the inclusion of excluded groups, we were raising awareness and built the capacity of youngsters from Guadeloupe, Martinique, Aruba, Curacao and St. Maarten, so that they will be better able to utilize and promote it back to their communities. (a) To explore the concept of a healthy lifestyle (b) To discuss current issues related to nutrition and sports through sharing good practices and experiences related to the prevention of diseases aused by lack of exercise and poor eating habits.
