How the project idea was born

During a Kid Im Atid Tov meeting with a municipal youth council, it stood out that the youth have lack of knowledge about body image and proper nutrition.

A painful issue raised by the youth was the death of their girlfriend due to improper diet.

Project values / goals

Encouraging students to prepare homemade food by simple and easy means
Comparing the components and nutritional values of industrial chickpeas versus homemade chickpeas
Raising awareness for a healthy and nutritious meal at school
Exposing students to a variety of nutritious and healthy spreads that can be incorporated into a sandwich
Familiarity with the legume family, which is rich in protein and complex carbohydrates

The project includes

Experiential content and activities on various topics: sensible nutrition, nutritional labeling and smart shopping, physical activity, self-image, time management and more.
During the training, the health leaders create tools that will assist them in their role as agents of change and will be used to convey the content to the other students and to assimilate a healthy lifestyle in the school and community.

We believe that building a positive self-perception will help students to be whole, healthier and happier and reach high achievements in various areas of life, thus becoming adults with a high sense of self-worth and being a positive part of society.
