Is there a better way to learn than by playing?

All generations can lend themselves to it, everyone has their own strategy, and discussions!

Parents find in it a means of showing their attention and their affection, as for children, isn't the game the salt of their life?

So imagine the success of a game that would teach the whole family to eat well, and therefore to live well?

This game and the Nutricartes method were created by the NGO APPEL – an international solidarity NGO of pediatricians – in Madagascar in 2007 to fight against malnutrition.

A tray, 4 large and essential categories of food: construction, protection, energy and drink, and food cards to play, discuss, debate, discuss life, learn, and even manage your budget feed !

The call trains the game and the Nutricartes method in several countries in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as in Latin America.
