Sciensano (Belgium)_Session with stakeholders: Development of the actions
Over the last months, the researchers from Sciensano (Belgium) conducted an extensive needs assessment in the population of Maasmechelen. Last week, these results were reported back to the stakeholders of the “Health Network” and linked to their findings from the group model building sessions. As a result, several propositions for actions (desired by the community) were proposed on colourful post-its. These will be presented to a larger network of stakeholders next week (12th of June) and to the larger community over the summer months. The local government has shown great interest in developing one or more actions and linking them to the greater plan for the city. The partnership has proven to be fruitful and promising, working together for a better environment for our children!

The “HEALTH4EUkids” Joint Action aims to implement health promotion and prevention strategies for child obesity across European countries. It seeks to share best practices and research findings, particularly focusing on the initiatives Grunau Moves from Germany and Smart Family from Finland. The project involves knowledge transfer, cooperation between member states, policy development, and the promotion of healthy lifestyles in families and communities. Its goal is to prevent childhood obesity, increase physical activity and healthy diet, and ensure the sustainability and transferability of successful practices to other member states.
