"Obesity nowadays is a ""silent"" killer that threatens more and more people, regardless of age. The paradox is that while half the planet is constantly on a diet, the other half is in poverty. During the project we have dealt with eating disorders that occur at a young age, with an emphasis on obesity. We decided to tackle this issue, as we realized that it concerns a very large number of people, especially teenagers and children, in the western world that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it has reached epidemic proportions.Young people follow a bad diet, a bad lifestyle with abuse and even if they want to change their habits they do not have the right motivation and support. In this program, we help these young people to realize the dangers of poor nutrition and to develop healthy habits that will stand the test of time, based on their personal choices. We must point out that this process is extremely difficult and painful for the person who needs to be armed with perseverance and patience to achieve his goal. At this point, we offer our help to make this process a little easier.The program ""Eat to live, Not live to eat"" was an international youth exchange, which was attended by 50 young people from 7 European countries (Greece, Italy, Spain, Croatia, Slovakia, Denmark, Turkey) who addressed the issue of eating disorders and related diseases. The exchange took place in Spilaio, Grevena, an isolated village with a rich history. Continuing, we gave opportunity of participation to 22 people with fewer opportunities who come from single-parent families, face geographical, economic and social barriers and learning difficulties. Often because they did not have the required control, they found themselves in bad company and abused, harmful to their health. This program brought about positive changes in their way of life, as they gained self-confidence, self-knowledge and realized their potential,From the goals we had set we managed to achieve the following.1. Targeting young people with poor eating habits,2. Recognition of the consequences of obesity3. Raising awareness to the participants about the thematic and lifestyle adjustments4. Development of non-formal learning strategies and methods and strengthening the competence “learning to learn”5. Promotion of exercise and sport,6. Prevention instead of treatment,7. Promoting the active participation of young people and socialization.8. Promoting the values of the European Union and promoting a single European culture, Democracy and Equality.9. Creating cohesive bonds between the participants (it is reported that the participants had acquired close ties so that they met in Italy after 2 months to celebrate Christmas holidays).In addition to the above, we tried to take a holistic approach to obesity and disseminate our results to local communities, so that they can benefit from the knowledge we have gained. Nutritionists also participated in the program, for a better understanding of the subject."
