Our Project “Let’s EAT together, Everybody Around the Table” units six European nursery schools from France, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia, Greece, who had chosen to work together in order to give their school a European dimension and to improve their practice. This project leads to develop in children and strengthen in those who educate them, the culture of healthy eating habits as part of the healthy lifestyle that they will carry throughout life . The project will allow a better knowledge of the specific culture and an enrichment through the discovery of the diversities of traditions in healthy food nationally and locally. It gives the opportunity to young children and teachers, to enforce their European identity, by introducing the participants to other European culture of healthy attitudes. It also aims to built an active european citizenship. The manner in which the project is carried out, will require the pupils with the knowledge, attitudes and skills they need to become happy, healthy and productive adults for tomorrow’s world of integration, able to cooperate, collaborate with other generations and societies, in the future European context. The programming of activities spreading over the time will give the opportunity to pupils and teachers from different countries to cooperate in the construction of knowledge and common and assessable skills refering to the European base . Working on eating habits allows to adopt an interdisciplinary approach that provides a real life context .
