The participants consisted of 17 university students from Palestra, College of Physical Education and Sports in Prague, from the Bachelor program Nutritional Counselling and Sport Diagnostics and 4 teachers and instructors from CASRI – a research institute at the Ministry of Defence Czech Republic for scientific, methodological, and counselling activities. The students were invited as a part of their education and practical training in nutrition and diagnostics. The graduate of this program will be able to design a nutrition and drinking regime with regard to the needs of the client and set up an appropriate exercise program. Employment in the labour market will be possible, for example, in fitness centres, sports clubs, sports associations, health centres, rehabilitation centres, and counselling offices. In practice, they will be mainly employed as nutrition advisors in the field of prevention, both for athletes and the general population and for all age groups. They can work as nutrition advisors in primary and secondary education. They can also find employment in the field of regeneration and convalescent care for clients and can work as consultants in the field of musculoskeletal diagnosis and subsequent appropriate selection of physical activities or as trainers and instructors. For this reason, they were the ideal candidates for the project results: not only in the sense of public awareness of eating disorders and dealing with obesity, but they can make practical use of the results in their careers. They will be directly involved in communication with children, adolescents and other age groups with or in the risk of developing eating disorders and with weight issues.

The programme included description and presentation of all C4H results: handbook, syllabus of seminars, and the training packages. We used PPT presentation and a beamer with Internet access so that participants could see how to login to the website and we browsed some of the YouTube videos in the dedicated channel. There was a follow-up discussion about eating disorders: we asked what the students know and do not know, dealt with some common misconceptions and prejudice connected with eating disorders. We focused on anorexia and bulimia mostly, because these are most common and fairly well known. The students demonstrated good knowledge, which is because they study the relevant field – nutrition. However, they still find the project results useful and appreciated the fact that they find all the information in one place.

After the coffee break, we discussed issues connected with obesity and some communication strategies we can use to talk to people with obesity. Students have never had a simulated motivational interview, so we watched one of the videos from C4H channel and reflected on that. If we had more time, we could have had a session practising motivational interview, but this need had not been foreseen. The students showed interest in that and hope to get the opportunity to learn this skill in their studies.

This session was followed by a Hana Střítecká, University of Pardubice, who focused on nutrition: she highlighted some myths about orthorexia and addressed common false beliefs among young people. Students had a very good knowledge about it because it is their specialty, but welcomed an insight from an experienced professional. We linked the discussion with C4H results and showed some of the nutritional data from project partners’ research. Some of the findings differed from the materials students learn at school – it seems that national guidelines are slightly different. These were partly explained by geographical, cultural, and environmental differences.

The multiplier concluded with a Kahoot quiz which summarized and review the knowledge about eating disorders, obesity, communication strategies, and C4H results. We than went through the answers and gave feedback on wrong and correct options.

Conclusions reached: participants appreciated the content of the event, usefulness and practical aspects of the project. There are sure they can use the results in future and that it will help them both in studies, teaching, and practice. They also appreciated the fact that we pointed out the misconceptions and false beliefs about eating disorders, obesity, and nutrition and that it gives them a new perspective on the subject.
