Active Families Project - Mr seamus Mullen, Public Health Agencysafefood
This document discusses two public health programs - Active Families and Health Promoting Homes - that aim to promote physical activity and healthy eating habits among families. The programs were developed through partnership between various government and community organizations. Evaluations found that the programs helped families remain active and eat healthier, through an engaging holistic approach. Maintaining partnerships was valuable for effective targeting of families and local adaptability of the flexible frameworks. Opportunities exist to further integrate the programs and take a "total place" approach amid current economic challenges.

The project has benefited schools by increasing nutrition education, physical activity, health awareness and improved weight management among pupils. Future challenges include ongoing financial demands and strengthening links between government departments.

Later, the Nazis expanded their campaign to mass murder, killing millions of Jews as well as Roma, Slavs, homosexuals and others deemed inferior. The largest concentration and death camp was Auschwitz, where over one million people were killed in gas chambers or through forced labor, disease and starvation.
