RT Journal Article T1 A cross-border cooperation project between Spain and Portugal to improve the quality of life of the population in Primary School A1 Moreno Sánchez, Emilia A1 Castillo Viera, Estefanía A1 Rodríguez Mena, José Antonio AB We present a project designed to raise awareness among school community members, encouraging them to engage with a change in their lifestyle and promoting healthy eating habits and exercise. We propose strategies for action on risk factors for several diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular illness or cancer amongst others, including psychological disorders related with eating habits. The project is divided into four parts to determine the current situation regarding habits of the primary schoolchildren from schools in Andalucía, Algarve and Baixo Alentejo. The aim of this project is to understand the real situation in these areas and put forward a proposal for intervention in accordance with the needs identified, which may serve as a point of reference in the drive to improve health.
