Living The Future Today

Description

"<< Background >>A sustainable healthy life is the prerequisite for a sustainable world.The WHO Health and Environment Commission describes the concept of development; ‘Human life It defines it as the process of improving the quality (WHO, 1992).Even if,evaluated as different each other ,developments in economic, social or health fields,actually interact with each other.Since they are, they must be seen as parts of the whole. Teachers, trainers, volunteers, social workers the awareness of European students about healthy lifestyles will increase through the project, they will be more self-confident and they will have a mutual interest in healthy living. Supporting ICT, STEM skills, the project offers participants the opportunity to use modern technology as a learning tool.Partners, as awareness of the relationship between healthy living skills and sustainable living, ,they plan to achieve through various studies, STEM and cognitive skills practices the desired behavioral changes .They conducted research, data analysis, organized workshops and online meetings for better understand the concrete challenges that policy makers, schools and teachers face in adopting collaborative and innovative pedagogies and tools . As a result of the analysis studies, the Partners consider it very important to address the digital goals and sustainable goals from the 2021-2027 program priorities.In the 21st century, that has somehow affected our lives, setting health-related goals in sustainable development is a very important development. However, especially the coronavirus epidemic in 2020 shows that there are many more steps to be taken in the field of health. With education and training activities in which healthy living skills will be integrated for a sustainable world; It is aimed to increase the competence of the institution, staff, student and parents to 70%, from 30% of the surveys prepared on Steam, Cognitive skills and sustainable health awareness for students, parents and teachers.Education, links the past and the future to support its development (cf.RUSEN, 2008). This link emphasizes the importance of designing the future by looking at the past for a sustainable life.Education equipped with humanistic ideas, personal autonomy and human solidarity should be guided;must be avoid from the an aproach that considering these two independently or pushing national interests to the second plan.As the indicate it German-born American philosopher Hannah Arendt (1958) human existence, is based on the truth of pluralism.This pluralism is Hannah Arendt's in its terminology, gives birth the need to create a common sphere of existence and capacitie.It is important that people who need each other to live contribute to sustainable living with a pluralistic perspective. Therefore, sustainable schools are important; Education program, physical location and organizational culture should be given to students to foster the development of healthy, sensitive global citizens.Students spend most of their days in a school building during their most important developmental years. In this crucial time of growth, schools should be a starting point for developing a space for creative thinking, inspiration, and awareness and responsibility. These teaching areas should be supported with 21st century skills.The project, will support the first strategic priority of the Action Plan, the development of a high-performing digital education ecosystem, by building capacity and critical understanding in all type of education and training institutions on how to exploit the opportunities offered by digital technologies for teaching and learning at all levels and for all sectors and to develop digital transformation plans.With ICT and STEM focused activities, it is aimed to gain healthy living skills to students through deep learning.Using digital skills in an interdisciplinary way to gain behaviorally sustainable health awareness through deep learning is one of the primary goals.<< Objectives >>One obstacle to sustainable health education is that the information provided on health education is often extremely limited. One of the most important reasons for this is that health education is not seen as a common field and other disciplines do not provide health education.52% of teachers lack knowledge and experience of sustainable health skills.Today's work environment requires employees to be capable of performing complex tasks efficiently, cost-effectively and securely.Training(a performance improvement tool) is required when employees do not perform to a certain standard or an expected performance level.The difference between the actual job performance level and the expected job performance level indicates a training need. Identifying training needs is the first step in a uniform instructional design method. As a result of swot analysis and interviews conducted in institutions, the proficiency rate of teachers in health,STEM and ICT-oriented teaching skills is 30%. With the health education to be carried out with ICT-STEM focused practices, the need to increase the competencies of the participants in healthy living skills and teaching techniques has emerged.All these data; It reveals that addressing the 2021-2027 Strategy objective is crucial, particularly the need to meet the criteria for improving the quality and efficiency of education and training.The project also actively supports the people of Europe as responsible, creative and innovative citizens.It will address the need for health improvement and the need to develop knowledge about health as a prerequisite for preparing knowledge to become fully aware of the complex challenges faced by society and able to work collaboratively (Healthy Life Skills Training for Responsible Citizenship,EC,2015).On the other hand, the Education Development and Modernization Agenda(2016)underlines that 'teaching quality and school leadership are vital' and requires strategic investment in effective school leadership and career-based teaching profession to enable teachers to cope with these challenges.Regarding the professional capacity of teachers, professional development based on different European policies and frameworks in the partner countries participating in the project, as well as innovations in national priorities and objectives of education reform and health skills the quality of school education contains links. New institutionalists deal with organization-environment relations in a deeper and broader way.(Crowson, Boyd, & Mawhinney,1996)They advocates that both of the organization and the environment organize each other.(Scott & Meyer,1991) In this context, according to the organizational analysis results;With STEM and ICT focused health education, the following needs of schools and institutions will be met:- willingness to master innovative learning techniques instead of classical teaching with students (without relying solely on knowledge transfer),- Individuals do not have enough equipment in the field of health /ICT-STEM skills create a positive effect in this area,-Teachers want to create a positive working environment by using STEM and ICT resources by attracting the attention of students,- Motivational strategies for students, students' needs to improve their well-being skills to build a sustainable life,- Efforts to focus on the goals of partners, innovative health education implementation methods and faster integration of school and out-of-school practice areas.- The effort to bring interesting subjects to life with learning activities for students.- A plan to motivate students through European cooperation, to create elective courses on sustainable health skills,- Willingness to bring added value to the European Union,- The plan to minimize educational differences between EU societies and to act as a mentor,- The desire of societies to keep up with the globalizing world in the field of sustainable health and to be aware of the current technology.<< Implementation >>Kick off meeting in Partner -Belgium December 2021 -Etwinning social clubs and project groups for school -The project website platform-The community for Science Education Platform(scientix eu) -The community for Training Focused on Sustainable Development Education Platform(CORE) -C1 The partner country Sweden will arrange LTT for staff training and do workshop in February2022- C2 Italy will arrange LTT for good practices exchanges and do workshop in May2022 -C3 Belgium will arrange LTT staff training and do workshop in August 2022 -C4 Aplicant Spain will arrange LTT for good practices exchanges and do workshop in November2022 -C5 Portugual partner will arrange LTT for staff training events in February2023 -C6 Turkey(Söke)partner will arrange LTT for good practices exchanges and do workshop in May2023 -The partners who are arranging LTT learning teaching training activities will prepare predocuments before the learning teaching training activities. -Applicant Partner will arrange a conference in Spain about the project title Living Future The Today (LTFT) for regional and national level.- First Other Relevant Activities(ORA) will be arrenged by Belgium in December2021-May2022,-Second ORA will be arranged by Sweden in May2022-October2022,-Third ORA will be arranged by Portugual in October2022-March2023,-Fourth ORA will be arranged by Italy in March2023-August2023- O1 Intellectual Output of the project will be prepared between November2021and finish in November2022(SW) -O2 Intellectual Output of the project will be prepared between December2022 and finish in November2023(POR) -E1 Multiplier Event will be organized in (Antalya)Turkey in July2023 and ended in November2023 -Preparing work plan activities for eTwining project, Sustainable Development - Education Platform(CORE) ,Scientex Eu.and the project groups in partner countries.-Each partner country will arrange seminars, workshops, the results of the project activities during the project at local and national. - All partners will organize permanent awareness-raising and volunteering activities in health literacy, healthy living skills and especially natural nutrition education in order to create sustainable healthy life awareness. -All partners will organize Role Model Activities in each LTT activities.

In order for any behavior to be a learning product, it must have 4 criteria (Product of Life-Permanent-Watched-Behavior Change). Schools transform behavior as centers of communities, increase community resilience, help adopt a healthy lifestyle philosophy, and prepare citizens to think and act in new and creative ways. In the field of education, the applicability of education will be supported by blending digital skills and STEM-focused healthy life skills to create desired behaviors in individuals. With the integration of STEM and ICT applications, it is aimed that students will gain skills such as analytical, solution-oriented thinking, health literacy, media literacy and digital literacy, and use them in all kinds of fields for sustainable healthy living activities under the guidance of their teachers.1. The Animations for Healthy Living Program (IO1), which is prepared by taking into account the needs analysis, country profiles, comparisons / indicators and evaluation techniques, will include interactive learning materials(online / offline),videos and presentations to develop wellness skills competencies.These STEM-focused digital programs will be integrated into school lessons created with European teachers at LTFT. For this reason, health education in schools will be consistent developed and expanded. The gains obtained as a result of LTT and Other Related Activities carried out during the project are as follows:- Simple STEM exercises were applied to encourage adoption of a healthy life. For a better health education implementation, STEM-oriented teaching skills competence was obtained.2. Healthy Nutrition Digital Guidebook (IO2) The digital book will be prepared taking into account Needs analysis, country profiles, benchmarks / indicators and assessment techniques. It will include interactive learning materials (online / offline), videos and presentations to improve healthy living skills.- The book, which will include studies on STEM-focused nutrition, will be a guidebook on organic nutrition in season and Mediterranean type nutrition.The resource will be integrated into school lessons created with European teachers at LTFT. Therefore, healthy living education in schools will be consistent, developed and disseminated.Results to be achieved after LTT and Other Related Activities:- understanding the link between healthy survival skills in a quality environment and a STEM-focused approach,- to gain health literacy skills with the knowledge and skills acquired about health,- to gain digital literacy by making and using ICT and web2.0 tools,- Acquisition of healthy nutrition and exercise skills required for a sustainable healthy life,- trainers gain competence to develop innovative materials for healthy life skills, - Educators to reach the competence to prepare STEM-focused and ICT-supported course content,- Contributing to the EU Youth Strategy 2021-2027's priorities of digital transformation, inclusiveness and diversity, environment and combating climate change (organic nutrition-good agricultural practices, acting towards sustainable development, consuming healthy and environmentally friendly products ....),- Developing entrepreneurial and innovative capacities of youth and educators in health education in partner countries,- gaining media literacy skills with digital, critical and comparative teaching method,- Developing the ability to produce digital materials (animation, book, video, etc.) for health-related course contents,-To gain the ability to develop preventive ideas by analyzing the priority health problems experienced in partner and other countries,-To gain cultural awareness about healthy life skills,-To gain inspiration and motivation for new methods by experiencing different learning and teaching methods."
