HEPCOM: community initiatives to prevent obesity among children and adolescents

In the EU, 20 percent of children and adolescents are overweight and of these one third are obese. HEPCOM is developing a European learning platform that assists local communities in their work for preventing obesity among children and young people.

A web learning platform, available in 13 languages, will be designed and tested with 40 local communities across EU to promote the use and upscaling of health promotion tools and mechanisms. Starting in February 2013, HEPCOM will run for three years and is coordinated by CBO BV in the Netherlands.
