In the fall 2021, Ashipti and HFFG went on a preparatory study to Ghana. During the preparatory study we went on school visits to interview primary school students. We collected data about their knowledge on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), risk factors as well as their level of physical activity and their eating habits. Our data showed that school children have a low level of knowledge on NCDs, on what constitutes a healthy diet, as well as low knowledge of the consequences of unhealthy diet and low physical activity. Furthermore, we found varied perceptions of ?healthy lifestyle? for which some of them were based on misconceptions. Based on this knowledge the idea of the pilot project took form. The pilot project will primarily focus on bridging the knowledge gap of school children in Ghana on NCDs while promoting physical activity and healthy diet among them.
