Funded by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT), under the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, this project transforms the well-known Game of the Goose into an educational tool. The aim is to bring PsychoImmunoNutrition into classrooms in a participatory and fun way, demonstrating the relationship between diet, emotions, and the immune system for overall well-being.
Through a giant board with squares, questions, challenges, and educational dynamics, children from public and rural schools in Segovia capital and province will discover how their habits, emotions, and diet influence their immune system and contribute to their well-being. The project's fundamental objective is to foster healthy habits and a positive relationship with food, the body, and health from the earliest educational stages, also addressing emotional well-being and the prevention of childhood obesity and eating disorders.
Over the coming months, a multidisciplinary team of researchers, educators, psychologists, and nutrition professionals will work on creating and adapting the content. The project is led by Ligia Esperanza Díaz, a researcher from the Immunonutrition group at ICTAN-CSIC, and involves researchers and university professors from the University of Valladolid, the Complutense University, and the Autonomous University of Madrid, along with primary and early childhood teachers and professionals from various health and education fields.
