“Healthy Living in Europe” brings together 5 schools from Germany, Greece, Spain, Romania and Turkey. The drive of this project is to guide students to internalise healthy living patterns and enlarge their view about healthy lifestyles within the European community. A healthy lifestyle means eating healthy, practising sports, having a harmonious relation with the natural environment, learning to deal with our own feelings, promoting wellbeing, creating healthy and strong relationships and social support. By this present project we tackle the topic under all the above mentioned above.The project stems from a problem which some schools confront with- more and more pupils refuse the attendance of the PE classes, therefore the number of pupils who are overweight is increasing every year. The participants will benefit from guidance on how to achieve healthy food habits and how important sports or any form of physical exercise is on our mental and psychological comfort. The main objective is to raise awareness about different healthy European lifestyles among 100 students from the 5 schools reunited in the present project for a period of 24 months.In order to achieve the main aim, the following objectives have been set:-to improve participants’ skills and knowledge to have a healthy and balanced diet;-to support participants to lead a healthier lifestyle;-to provide participants opportunities to learn within a multicultural environment;-to encourage the international exchange of good practices.140 participants is the number intended to be the direct beneficiaries in our project (100 students and 40 teachers). At the level of the partnership, there will be involved about 300 students aged 15-20, 80 teachers and an estimated number of 200 local participants (school staff, parents, representatives of the local authorities, guests, stakeholders, etc.). The working language of the project is English.The designed activities will give the participants the chance to explore together the surrounding nature, the impact of their acts on the environment and how nature impacts people’s health. Sports will be used as a communicating tool for health-related information to students, but also to aid when establishing human relationships and improve teambuilding. By taking part in friendly competitions, team cohesion, goal setting and team spirit will be created and supported. Students will have the occasion of developing friendships during their work within the Erasmus+ projects clubs, international meetings or the online eTwinning project. International exchanges will result in creating role models, finding sources of inspiration, opportunities for personal growth and development. Each partner school will implement topic-related activities developed during the international meetings within the project clubs. The specific context of each school will be taken into consideration while doing these activities. Students will be involved in interactive activities which will develop their ability to sum up information, IT competences and critical thinking, creativity, healthy habits and practical knowledge.Organising activities outdoors will promote students’ relation with the environment. This idea will show students that education also happens in the open. Among the planned activities outdoors are field trips, study visits, meeting guest speakers from different organisations who promote leading a healthy life. While attending the seminar “Reading for Well-being”, students will discover that even literature can enhance personal wellbeing. The result of this project will be that all the participants will enlarge their view of leading a healthy lifestyle in various European communities and the quality of their educational process will also improve.This will be a unique experience in the long-turn because it will create a new ideology about what a healthy life means in terms of eating and being active. The participants will grasp the idea that each individual is responsible for creating his/her own healthy lifestyle.As a result, the project products will be blended into the school curricula and the results will be disseminated during Open Day events of the school, reunions or Educational Fairs. Our cooperation is intended to continue via the online eTwinning platform for at least three years after the completion of the project. The organisation of a health awareness campaign in every partner school or community on 7th April on the occasion of World Health Day is one of the planned activities. The schools will benefit from creating a European dimension, internationalizing the school curricula and teachers’ expansion of their knowledge and ideologies. Thanks to this partnership, participants will enrich their communicative skills, will come into contact with different languages, cultures and lifestyles. The people involved will be more efficient in managing in multicultural environments and they will also develop socially.

Europe has clearly defined its aims and ambitions in learning mobility for 2020. There is a strong focus on creating opportunities for young persons between 16-29 years old to gain accredited skills to become competitive on an increasingly international job market. The EMEU4ALL project addresses all Erasmusplus program objectives (2014-3020) which prioritize the expansion of learning mobility opportunities, the creation of strategic partnerships for VET education and the accreditation of learning mobility achievements through the use of the European ECVET Toolkit instruments. Access for young VET students to teaching and training methods and work experiences in other countries will help to improve their employability in a global economy: work-based learning is critical for employability at all education levels, particularly in the current context of extremely high youth unemployment. Student numbers have dropped dramatically in the last 10 years and therefore there is a clearly defined need to increase the quality and attractiveness of VET education in many European countries. The EMEU4ALL project therefore focusses on Learning Mobility which comprises both physical mobility and virtual activities, because current opportunities for physical mobility in VET education are low: in The Netherlands e.g. the number of secondary VET students involved in mobility programmes is just between 1-2 % . Internationalization@home (IaH) or Virtual mobility activities where staff and students work together at a distance are stable in HE and Universities, but very underdeveloped in VET; if activities are offered in VET, they are most likely not embedded in the curricula of VET colleges and therefore not validated. IaH, however, may be the only affordable key to mobilize the majority of non-mobile students. With the predecessors of the EMEU4ALL project, i.e. the Automobility project, the Automovet project and Engineering Mobility across Europe (EMEU) project (2014-2016) the partnership has actively supported and addressed the EU aims described above by creating an open and sustainable network for learning, working opportunities and validation through ECVET thereof for Engineering students in VET education. The attention and nominations the EMEU project has received since its inception has strengthened our belief that the project formula will work in all VET sectors as practice has attracted new partners to the project. Thus, the EMEU4ALL project aims to transfer the EMEU products, procedures and website for Engineering/ICT to Health Care, Social Care, Business Studies (Marketing), Sports, International Trade and Service (Retail and Catering). The existing and tested EMEU products and procedures (see: http://em-eu.eu) will ensure a transfer to the new EMEU4ALL VET sectors with which we aim to: 1. create and test a minimum 40 virtual mobility activities; 2. create and test 40 modules; 3. Create vocational blood groups of 5 partners; 4. promote and execute longer-term work placements for students after finishing the modules. (This means that after the EMEU and EMEU4ALL project, the partners will have developed and tested 80 copy-left modules and virtual assignments. 5. adapt the existing EMEU website for engineering/ICT to the new VET sectors involved. 6. adapt the existing ECVET for ENGINEERING manual to an ECVET4ALL manual. The experience gained with understanding and applying ECVET will help to embed the modules in their own educational programs to become part of the partner’s primary process; 6. Further develop teachers' professional skills in other VET areas regarding intercultural diversity, foreign languages and learning about the other VET programs in Europe. An extra focus for teachers will be on learning about and actively using social media, particularly through virtual learning mobility activities: If students are to be competitive on an international labour market, then it's necessary to gain the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary in an international context and to assess and validate their achievements. 7. Promote an active relationship between Education and Industry: during and/or after the modules the students will visit local/regional companies to experience educational theory applied in practical situations. Local and or regional industry will also contribute to the project by helping to develop the contents of the modules and by offering work experience opportunities to the transnational students. In a nutshell, through virtually and physically participating in and, more important, after this project, many more VET students will benefit from an international experience which will enhance their chances on an international labour market. It will also develop the teachers’ knowledge and skills, create an sustainable, attractive and modern VET environment and actively address an active relationship between Industry and VET Education.
