Objectives

The goal of the project was changing the perception of later, the mentality of community members towards people with disabilities, in this case those with Down Syndrome, in order to accept and integrate them from the social point of view. By carrying out the project activities, the aim was to reduce obesity among the young people involved, improving their nutrition system on the long-term, healthy eating being an important factor in preventing this disease. They were encouraged to express themselves freely, to be respectful of community members in order to deal with the challenges they have to face. The main goal of the project was for young people to acquire healthy eating habits, which would increase their self-esteem and would improve their quality of life. The objectives of the project were: - making young people aware of the importance of following the rules of healthy daily conduct through information adapted to their potential for understanding; - establishing a set of rules on food and sports for young people to follow on a daily basis to ensure a healthy life.
