Guidelines for Sustainable Taste and Prevention
Why was this project created?
The Guidelines for Sustainable Well-Being and Prevention arose from the observation that many health problems, feelings of unwellness, addictive behaviors, and risky behaviors could be better prevented if children and young people received support at an earlier stage.
In a society characterized by an abundance of information, the influence of marketing, social media, and sometimes contradictory guidelines, it is essential to help everyone understand, make choices, and act with discernment.
This project is therefore designed to prevent rather than remedy problems, by providing young people with lasting guidance on health, nutrition, taste, well-being, physical activity, citizenship, and critical thinking.
Who is affected?
The project is primarily aimed at children and young people, since lifestyle habits and attitudes toward oneself, others, and health are formed from a very young age.
But it also applies to the adults who work with them: teachers, educators, parents, healthcare professionals, local authorities, training centers, and prevention specialists.
The goal is to create a shared educational approach based on understanding, dialogue, and responsibility.
What difference does it make?
What sets the " Guidelines for Sustainable Taste and Prevention" apart is that they offer a comprehensive, cross-cutting approach inspired by the ideas of Edgar Morin and the complexity of the contemporary world.
Rather than addressing these topics separately, this approach connects:
- diet and health;
- the body, emotions, and behaviors;
- prevention and citizenship;
- pleasure, taste, and responsibility;
- education and critical thinking.
The goal is not only to impart knowledge, but also to help young people learn how to live, to understand themselves better, to understand others, to exercise their freedom, and to make informed choices in a complex world.
“We help children and young people develop lasting foundations for their health and citizenship through a preventive educational approach inspired by Edgar Morin’s theory of complex thought.”
