The last 7th of September, ABN - Aplicaciones Biologicas a la Nutricion, Alfonso X el Sabio Foundation, the company Lixesa Productions (LazyTown) and the City of Alcorcón signed an agreement of collaboration with the Foundation University Alfonso X. The objective in this Agreement is to develop a project of nutritional education in the education centers of the municipality of Alcorcón.

The Project that has denominated ENEA, is targeted to three groups, the children, the parents and the catering companies. The fundamental values of the ENEA Project are:

• To develop healthy habits in the children.
• To foment sports.
• To reinforce the familiar bonds.

Conscious of the growing concerns about the inadequate diet of children and adolescents, ABN is promoting, the constitution of a Foundation whose main objective will consist of promote and improve the infantile nutritional quality through the promotion of educative, informative and investigation initiatives that help to educate and inform children, parents, teachers, as well as other groups with influence in the infantile development.

The ENEA Project is the first of this type of activities and ABN will be in charge to manage and direct it, to assure that all the activities that are carried out within the framework of the ENEA Project fulfill the objectives and purposes pursued.

ABN will work with the UAX in coordinated manner to elaborate the educative contents directed to children and parents. In subsequent phases, the students of the last course of the studies of Nutrition of the UAX are the ones that will directly distribute this formation to the children of the schools of Alcorcón, the object of the ENEA Project.

All the formative contents directed to the children will have the audio-visual support of LazyTown, the only mark of entertainment directed in exclusive to the Infantile Health. In this way, it is pursued to form and to amuse the children with its preferred characters of this popular series, Sportacus and Stephanie.

During the next months we will hold meetings with companies of the Sector of the Nutrition whose values and objectives agree with those of the ENEA Project so that if they wish it, they can conduct actions within the frame of the project that benefit  the children from the municipality from Alcorcón.
