School Programme for Children Well-Being and Outdoor Learning

Description

Physical Education (PE) problems have become one of priorities in Europe and one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century. This trend in children is alarming, as it has grown steadily and is a warning to future generations. Lack of PE for children is strongly associated with several risk factors such as cardiovascular disease, orthopaedic problems, mental disorders related to poor school performance and lack of confidence. This situation leads to many people not wanting to participate actively in the society around them. COVID-19 has dramatically turned this problem into a crisis. Our research found that students active in sport aged 14- and 16-year-olds who exercised regularly are less likely to develop depression. The relationship between movement and brain health is so clear that the WHO recommends an hour a day of moderate exercise for students in primary and secondary scholars. Yet, across our schools and associations the PE is far away from the WHO suggestions. However, across our regions PE teachers are not familiar with teaching PE online which is the gap that must be filled. This project aims to pilot an initiative that fosters self-care and healthy mindset in digital era. This project will equip secondary school teachers with competences through online courses from one side, and will initiate peer-education between students from the other side. Designed as cross-sectoralstrategic partnership this project will bring together representatives from the formal education(schools), representatives from the non-formal education (training centers) and representatives from the digital business world(IT company) to deliver innovative digital learning pathway in the field of School education.The identification of this crisis in most European countries, where young people don’t do sports has determined to initiate this project that aims to promote online among young people the importance of carrying out a healthy lifestyle and, at the same time, look for means that are attractive to them like videos and apps to promote this message. The overall objective of this project will be reached trough the specific objectives of this project: -To increase the level of competences of school teachers in the field of mental health; -To pilot online courses that will use meditation and sports as methodology for well-being;-To direct and stimulate peer-learning and teaching process among students based on the methodology of well-being; -To enhance mental-health education and enable students to become more familiar with the mind-body connection; -To promote healthy eating and exercise through music and dance;STRUCTURE AND OBJECTIVESOur project is focused on youth between 12 and 17 years old who are motivated to live healthy. Through project participants will gain more health, informal education, knowledge about different cultures and knowledge about different (healthier) active way of life. With the help of selected teachers we will show our youth the active way of life that can be performed during quarantine. Important goal of the project is also for participants to gain experiences, knowledge and competences, which they will be able to transfer in their schools and local life. Our main expected impact is to reach youth at a higher level of interest in healthier way of life and initiation of sport in their daily routine.Another important aim of our project is to provide an intercultural learning experience for young participants by sharing moments of inclusion and carrying out activities that follow non-formal education methods. The topics to discuss are: environmental sustainability, respect for nature, inclusive sport and healthy lifestyle. During the project, activities will promote intercultural inclusion and learning, such as workshops, role plays, online theater and trust-building. In addition, through the aforementioned activities, participants will acquire new knowledge about environmental sustainability and carry out sports activities area, through which will be promoted a healthy lifestyle and teamwork. The activities will be facilitated by staff, in charge of non-formal education activities on intercultural learning.The project aims at addressing the challenges identified above by means of providing secondary school students and teachers in possession of self-PE motivation with the attitudes and skills needed. Project will deliver on this aim through the following:2- Production of a manual for secondary school teachers integrating methodologies of self-learning supporting them in giving shape to and strengthening their profiles on teaching PE online.3-Training Toolkit for Trainers: The Toolkit will integrate guidelines and methods of NFE tailored to the needs of teachers willing to implement educational programmes to empowertheir teaching profile.4- E-learning modules and Web Platform. Partners will produce a specific Web Platform with integrated modules.
