Project Summary

Diabetes and obesity are only the two of ever-increasing and problematic illnesses in the world recently. Especially type2 diabetese occurs in later years depending upon malnutrition and decrease in the quality of living. Our project’s general purpose is to contribute to the protection of community health care by developing the awareness of the society about the importance of a balanced and healthy diet against diabetes and obesity which occur depending on malnutrition. Our main purpose is to create two curricula, one to be used in vocational training and the other to be used in every phase of life and create awareness about balanced diet with the aim of changing people’s dietary habits.
A university in the UK with former experience in health studies, a vocational school, established for public and social benefits in Germany are taken as partners to reach our targets. Public institutions and organizations and NGOs are our local partners.
Our target group in our project is:
1. Vocational training specialists working on public education in partner organizations: A new collaborative working platform has been established to create two new curricula with our project.
2. Institution Managers: 7 Institution managers: Contribution to the solution of problems will be provided about problem solving in cooperation with other institutions with this project.
3. NGO managers and members: Selected with the aim of developing new strategies for official institutions and NGOs through observing the best applied examples in the EU in order to reach large segments of our society
4. 7 ICT technicians: Our technicians have been informed about new techniques and software and made use of this information in the preparation of the curricula.
5. 7 distant education specialists: Selected with the aim of getting information about more effective methods and techniques of distance teaching
The outcomes of our project are easily accessible to everybody. In order to achieve this, strategies for dissemination have been developed and it was possible to reach a great number of people and a website to be reached online was created.
Although our project is a two year project, 8 transnational visits and 1 final workshop were accomplished in eighteen months. As regards intellectual outputs, ‘Preparation of Diet Menus’ module and ‘Nutrition Training’ module were prepared, to be used both on-line and in formal education. Moreover, 71 participants out of 75 invited representatives from different institutions in seven groups have discussed the subject of healthy nutrition under seven headings to prepare an Action Plan. Our project was planned to start on 01.09.2014, however, the first activity started much later owing to reasons outside th project and completed on 31/08/2016.
