Generation Healthy Children is a research and community project aimed at investigating how to create healthy and well-being-filled childhoods. The core part is a large intervention experiment that spans two school years, impacting the lives of around 2200 children who start in 1st and 2nd grade in August 2023 at 24 selected schools in Sjælland and the Southern Region of Denmark
The project implements a variety of initiatives at 12 intervention schools, while 12 schools serve as a comparison baseline. These initiatives include, among others:
Healthy and climate-friendly school meals – delivered by ØJN
Integration of more physical activity into education
Workshops for parents and children on healthy sleep and screen habits
In addition, the project involves the community through after-school care facilities (SFO), sports clubs, and supermarkets, as well as other local and national stakeholders.
