Supported by the Roquette Foundation for Health since 2018, the VIF® program has been active for 30 years in local communities to combat childhood obesity. Historically, its actions have been primarily aimed at children aged 6-11.  

“Living in Shape” from an early age will strengthen the VIF® program by creating tools and actions for children ages 0-5, to better prepare them for primary school, particularly in terms of nutrition for better health. The project aims to improve the eating behaviors of children during the first five years of life, including awareness from pregnancy, through five steps: 

1. A thorough assessment of nutritional needs; 
2. Co-creation of actions and tools, in collaboration with experts and families; 
3. A Living Lab for testing the measures in real conditions; 
4. ; Training and mobilization of local stakeholders
5. Monitoring actions and evaluating the satisfaction of trained actors, as well as measuring the impact of behavior change among the final beneficiaries.
