The main goal of the project ”Fit for Kids Europe” is to establish a network of EU sport associations and other related NGO’s who wish to collaborate on increasing the participation of inactive, overweight and obese children in after-school organized physical activities.

With this Collaboration we intend to reach this main goal by combining three actions:
1) Expand the FitforKids programme;
2) Present FitforKids as a best-in-class case study and true driver for volunteer based social/health programmes;
3) Recognition of the ethnic Turks living in EU Member States.

The FitforKids program consists of five elements:
  • Nutritional advice;
  • Physical activity;
  • Motivation program;
  • Tips for parents;
  • Social events.

The FitforKids’ Program is a community based multi-component lifestyle intervention implemented in Denmark, Bulgaria, Italy, Portugal and Turkey and aims at increasing the overall health of the family as well as reducing BMI and body fat with the children.
