ASL Napoli 3 Sud and Decathlon sign school protocol for healthy eating and sport

On 5 October 2026, ASL Napoli 3 Sud and Decathlon Italia signed a protocol to promote healthy lifestyles among children through healthy eating, physical activity and sport.

The agreement is aimed at participating schools and combines nutrition education with opportunities for pupils to take part in physical and sporting activities.

Within the “Gioco della Dieta Mediterranea”

The agreement operates within the “Gioco della Dieta Mediterranea” action, part of the Regional Prevention Plan’s PP01 “Scuole che Promuovono Salute” programme.

It is presented as part of the wider “Scuole SHE Campane che Promuovono Salute” network involving health authorities, the Campania Region, the Regional School Office and participating schools.

The project is reported as reaching approximately 70 schools and more than 10,000 pupils and their families each year. The sources do not give a methodology or reporting period for that figure.

What the 2026/2027 edition adds

The 2026/2027 edition introduces or expands two elements:

• “Emozioni & Cibo”, focused on the relationship between emotions and food choices.
• “AulAttiva”, which brings short movement sessions into classrooms.

Decathlon will support sports activities in participating schools, giving pupils opportunities to try different disciplines through inclusive and educational experiences.

The sources do not specify the participating schools, the activity calendar, or whether Decathlon’s contribution includes equipment, instructors, funding or other forms of support.

What this means for schools and families

For schools, the protocol offers a structured link between the regional health-promotion programme and classroom and sports activities.

For families, the reported focus is on healthy eating, daily movement and the educational values of sport, with pupils involved directly in inclusive activities and classroom sessions.

Further operational details — including which schools will take part and how activities will be scheduled — were not specified in the material available for this article.
