Nutrition Education Program Delivered to Middle School Students as Part of the Health Promotion Course

Second-year students of the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics at our University's Faculty of Health Sciences delivered a 7-week Nutrition Education Program to 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade students at 29 Ekim Middle School as part of the Health Promotion course conducted by Assoc. Prof. Ayşe ÇAL in the fall semester of the 2024-2025 academic year.

Carried out under the slogan “Strong Body, Fit Mind,” the education program was prepared under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Nevin ŞANLIER, Dean of our Faculty and Head of the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics. At the end of the program, the students' height, body weight and waist circumference were measured to evaluate the effectiveness of the training. We hope that the program, in addition to enhancing our students' health education skills, will make a lasting contribution to helping middle school students develop healthy eating habits.
