    “I’m living healthy too!” – SETS national movement

    The national movement “I’m living healthy, too!” – SETS, launched by PRAIS Foundation, for a period of 5 years, 2011-2016, aims to prevent juvenile obesity and promote a healthy lifestyle among Romanian families, in a holistic approach: mind, body, spirit.


    “SETS movement in Romania is a very active member of the Epode International Network – EIN, the largest global network for obesity prevention, which gathers together 32 national programs with similar methodologies in 22 countries, including: France, Belgium, Spain, England, the Netherlands, Greece, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Israel, Australia, New Zealand. Last year, EIN was designated by DG SANCO as "Best Health promotion European project". The interventions within “I’m living healthy too!” – SETS movement in Romania are recognized as a best-practice model within EIN”, declared Silvia Bucur, President of PRAIS Foundation.


    In Romania, SETS has engaged 79,529 pupils in the primary cycle from 252 schools from Bucharest, Roman and, as of this year, Cluj-Napoca, 3,000 educators and over 160,000 parents, 2 millions – the public at large. 200 UNEFS students have voluntarily delivered 145 open lessons, sports demonstrations, becoming true role-models for the pupils.


    In all the schools with primary grades involved in SETS movement, PRAIS Foundation provides the pupils with extracurricular educational books free of charge, to promote daily physical exercises and a balanced diet, Olympic sports – values and role-models, in addition to informative materials, based on which the educators deliver lessons within extracurricular classes, throughout the school year.


    “SETS Clubs – Sports and Entertainment”, are voluntarily organized by the pupils, under the coordination of the educators. Organized voluntarily, the physical and sports activities done during their free time are registered in the annual competition of the most active clubs on www.sets.ro, the movement communication platform, where children, as well as parents and the public at large can constantly find out information. Since launch to the present, 9.766 pupils registered voluntarily in 240 SETS Clubs have followed the urge of the members of SETS Scientific Council, whose recommended slogan for a healthy lifestyle is “Moderation, Balance and Variation” and carried out 3.531 physical activities essential for their harmonious development, in association with a balanced nutrition.


    With the support of sports faculties, over 200 volunteer students have delivered open lessons on an annual basis, presenting to the children the sports they practice and exercising together with them. Within the partnership with SETS, 200 UNEFS students have voluntarily delivered 145 open lessons, sports demonstrations, in Bucharest, becoming true role-models for the pupils.


    “We are delighted with the long-term partnership we have with SETS movement in Romania, as part of EPODE International Network (EIN). Our message is that obesity can be successfully prevented, an evidence hereof being the results obtained by our members who succeeded in the communities where EPODE methodology has been applied for years. We are happy that the European Obesity Forum took place in Bucharest this year, from 17th to 18th of October, after having been organized in New York last year, as a recognition of the efforts that PRAIS Foundation, together with all its local and international partners manage to make for the prevention of juvenile obesity”, declared Jean-Michel Borys, EIN Secretary General.


    EIN in partnership with the PRAIS Foundation - SETS Movement organized in Bucharest the first European Obesity Forum. This event was an exceptional opportunity for the Community -Based Programmes (CBPs) from all over Europe and their multi-stakeholder supporters to share best practices, propose solutions and make commitments on obesity and its related issues. This event was a call to action for Europe on obesity and NCD prevention. 15 Community-Based Programmes from across Europe and members of the EIN attend the Forum, together with leading scientific, political and public private stakeholders committed to obesity prevention. The conference that ended the Forum gathered international leading experts, more than 70 CBP professionals, policy makers, political and corporate representatives providing the opportunity to learn from expert examples of how to use the environment in preventing obesity.


    EIN supports the importance of the Public-Private Partnership globally. Thus, the partners of SETS movement are: Ministry of Health, Ministry of National Education, Ministry of Youth and Sports, School Inspectorates from Bucharest, Neamt and Cluj, Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee, Romanian Athletics Federation, National University of Physical Education and Sport, Romanian Federation for Diabetes, Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases, Romanian Nutrition Society, Romalimenta Federation, through 5 member companies representative at global level by consistently supporting child obesity prevention and EIN methodologies.
