Netd@ys Europe: Spain

Spain

Nutrition online

The project will provide guidance for young people, and for their parents and teachers, on what they can do to prevent illnesses and health problems that have their origin in poor nutrition. The guidance will be provided by specialist doctors and will be aimed at combating anorexia, bulimia, cholesterol and obesity.

Equal opportunitiesThe main target group will be young people who live in rural areas, far away from hospitals, and who have access to a small number of doctors, many of whom have little knowledge of this medical area. The project will reduce their isolation by providing a wide range of information on nutrition.

These themes are: "New technologies in the rural areas", "Women's access to ICTs" and "Third Age in Internet".
