This project seeks to increase the awareness within municipal policy makers and “professional practitioners” on how the socio-cultural context within the local settings, where municipalities can intervene with health promoting activities has an effect on healthy lifestyle choices and the health status within families. The increased awareness will increase these groups’ ability and willingness to develop and implement activities which are specifically developed in relation to the socio cultural context, where they are supposed to have an effect. The general objective of this project is therefore to ensure that health promoting activities, focusing on overweight, obesity and healthy lifestyle choices especially within young people and their families, has a better and long lasting effect.

The main aim of AIDS & Mobility Europe (A&M) is to reduce HIV vulnerability of migrants and mobile populations in Europe, through the development, implementation and promotion of appropriate policies and measures. The proposal for Aids & Mobility 2007-2010 is brought forward by a migrant-based organisation and a network of more than 20 partners across the EU and in Turkey. It is based on 15 years of successful co-operation of the expanding network of AIDS & Mobility Europe and on the trans-cultural mediator system (MiMi) established by the Ethno-Medical Centre (EMZ), in Germany.
