Empowering Wellness Through "Eat Smart for a Healthy Heart"

In May 2023, Centrul Pentru Tineret Mileniu embarked on another enriching journey, this time to Messina, Italy, for the "Eat Smart for a Healthy Heart" project. Guided by the reference number KA152-YOU-000094049, our team of 8 Romanian participants explored the realm of emotional eating disorders, eager to expand their understanding and share their insights through their participation in the project activities which took place from 01.05.2023 to 06.05.2023.

Throughout the project, a diverse range of activities were carried out. From sports activities aimed at nurturing resilient bodies to informative sessions delving into the psychological factors underlying eating disorders, the activities were thoughtfully designed to empower participants with knowledge and strategies for self-care.

Engaging in case study analyses, role model discussions, and body mass index workshops provided valuable opportunities for reflection and learning for our Romanian participants. They had the opportunity to explore the complexities of emotional eating disorders, examining real-life scenarios and drawing inspiration from positive role models to navigate challenges and cultivate healthier relationships with food.

As we reflect on our experience in Messina, we are grateful for the opportunity to deepen our understanding of emotional eating disorders and explore strategies for promoting health.
