The Gasol Foundation and its PRESAFALÍN project
The Gasol Foundation, through its PRESAFALÍN project, is carrying out a series of workshops at the three nursery schools in Mollet del Vallès. These workshops aim to promote the health of children and their families through empowerment, the promotion of skills and knowledge for the adoption and maintenance of healthy habits in the family environment from early childhood . One of the last workshops held focused on the promotion of healthy eating.
The PRESAFALÍN project
The PRESAFALÍN project is aimed at children aged 0 to 5 and their families. It aims to foster parents’ skills and abilities, such as self-efficacy and resilience, to foster a positive family bond and promote healthy habits in the short and long term. This project contributes to reducing inequalities in health in environments of socioeconomic vulnerability.
Collaboration with the Provincial Council of Barcelona
Thanks to the collaboration with the Diputació de Barcelona, a new edition of the PRESAFALÍN project has started this year. This edition is intended exclusively for 40 municipal nursery schools in the province of Barcelona, among which the three municipal nursery schools of Mollet del Vallès have been selected: La Filadora, La Xarranca and Els Pinetons.
The support of Mollet del Vallès Town Council
The Councilor for Education, Noa Monràs González, has highlighted the importance of this project for the city of Mollet del Vallès. Mollet is one of the few cities in Catalonia that hosts this project, which promotes networking between municipal nursery schools and families. Through this project, guidelines are provided on how to manage emotions and how to enhance well-being through physical activity and healthy eating, with the aim of creating a healthy family environment.
The importance of healthy eating
From the Gasol Foundation, they emphasize that one of the main objectives is to prevent childhood obesity. Although healthy eating is one of the pillars of action, physical activity, sport, emotional well-being and rest and sleep are also worked on. All these factors are closely interrelated to find a good balance and promote a healthy life.
