MEDIA RELEASE 22 OCTOBER 2008
Healthy lifestyles by learning and finding out online
The aim of the new Wellou service is to get primary school children interested in healthy food as well as outdoor activities and exercise. Traditional teaching has been complemented using new technology and interactive methods. The national pilot project is being implemented by Beneway Oy and is being funded by Sitra, the policy programmes for health promotion and the well-being of children, youth and families, and by the National Board of Education.
The Wellou.fi health service will be launched on 22 October. It has been tested for over two years by professionals in nutrition at, for example, the University of Kuopio and in several schools. Using the interactive teaching material, children learn to make choices that promote their own health and to create healthy daily routines, such as choosing the right kind of snack. The service’s WoimaWuosi activates the children to take exercise every day.
