One of the aims of the DigiCare4You project is to create a supportive social and physical environment within schools and communities for all citizens, beyond the individuals and families participating in the DigiCare4You intervention. In consideration of this, part of the DigiCare4You solution is a school intervention in which teachers will be trained to create a supportive environment that promotes the adoption of healthy and active lifestyles. To support this aim, material adapted to each country has been developed for the school-component of the project.
