CONNECTION OF HEALTH AND DAILY ROUTINES

Description

The “CONNECTION OF HEALTH AND DAILY ROUTINES” comprises 5 schools from France, Macedonia, Poland, Portugal and Turkey. The main motivation of the present project is to help pupils incorporate healthy habits and widen their vision about healthy lifestyles in the European community. Having a healthy lifestyle is connected with eating healthy, doing physical exercises, being in unity and harmony with the nature, learning to deal with our emotions, promoting wellbeing, building healthy relationships and social support. Through the present project we approach and analyze the topic from all perspectives which were mentioned above.The partner schools are confronted with large numbers of pupils who refuse to take part in the PE classes and the amount of overweight pupils is increasing every year. Participants will gain hands on knowledge on how to develop healthy eating habits and how physical exercise influences our mental and psychological well-being. The project’s main aim is to develop awareness about different EU healthy lifestyles among 96 students from 5 schools during 24 months of project.In order to reach the main aim we set the following objectives:-to widen participants’ knowledge and skills connected with having healthy and balanced diet-to encourage participants to lead a healthy lifestyle-to offer participants possibilities for learning in a multicultural environment-to enhance the international exchange of good practicesThe direct beneficiaries of our project will be 136 participants (96 students, 40 teachers). At the partnership level, we will involve 250 students (12-16 years old), 80 teachers, and approximately 200 local participants (parents, school staff, representatives of the local communities, stakeholders, guests, etc.). The common working language is English.The planned activities will give participants the opportunity to explore together the nature surrounding them, the influence of their actions on the environment and how nature affects their mental and physical health. Sport will be used as a way to communicate health related information to pupils, but also to help in building human relationships and teambuilding. By organising friendly competitions, goal setting, team unity and team climate will be supported. The project clubs, international meetings face to face and the eTwinning project will provide pupils with the opportunity to develop friendship with one another. International friendship will be the source of inspiration, role models, opportunities for growth and personal development. Activities related to the topic developed during the international meetings will be introduced by each partner in their school as activities organized at the project clubs and also integrated with teaching. These activities will be adjusted to the local context of each school. Pupils will be engaged in interactive activities that will enhance their ability to summarize the information, creativity, practical knowledge, critical thinking and IT competences, and healthy habits.The activities will also inspire and encourage them to be more active by joining sport competitions, friendly team sports, eco-sports. Pupils’ connection with the environment will be promoted also by activities that will be organized outdoors. The activities’ aim is to show pupils that education is also possible outside school. There are planned study visits, field trips, as well as meetings with guest speakers from different organizations that encourage having a healthy lifestyle. The project activities use the learning by doing process which will develop team work, cooperation, sense of belonging and also social cohesion. As a result of this project all participants and schools will broaden their concept of having a healthy lifestyle in different European communities and improve the quality of the educational process. This unique experience will contribute in the long-term because it supports understanding the importance and impact that the lifestyle has on people, what should to be done in order to be healthy and active. The activities also increase self-awareness and the idea that each individual is responsible for having a healthy lifestyle.Therefore, the project results will be integrated in the school curricula and we will continue to propagate the project's results during Open Days events, Educational Fairs and reunions. We are going to continue our cooperation with the use of the eTwinning platform at least three years after the ending of this partnership. One of our project activities implies to organize a health awareness campaign in each school/ community on the 7th of April when the World Health Day is celebrated. Thanks to this partnership, all participants will improve their communication skills, will be also exposed to different accents, cultures and lifestyles. Participants will become more proficient in working in multicultural environments and improve their social skills.
