"CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES: four schools have collaborated in order to organize the ""HealTH AT School"" project. This collaboration was the result of our acquaintance with a KA1 program on Tenerife island on the challenges of interculturalism and communication networks that had been contracted from previous Comenius projects. We are unanimous about the same requirements: improving our English skills, using digital tools in the lifelong term learning and formulating strategies to effectively address the everyday challenges regarding nutrition, physical activity, protection from the dangerous aspects of technology and the creative use of the internet. PARTICIPANTS: schools gather more than 2500 pupils who will be impacted by ""HealTH AT School"" project. About than 120 students and nearly 25 teachers will be involved directly. The fact that we are four countries with different cultures and origins (Mediterranean, Balkans, Central Europe) would emphasize is the idea that diversity provides an added value and promotes the cultural richness of our society. We learn from people that are different from us, not from those who are the same as us. ACTIVITIES: in this project we have designed several activities, which will be carried out over two years, using different approaches to reach our aims. These objectives will be set in 4 final tasks: a webpage, a digital magazine (or a printed book) , a participation as Erasmus group in Safer Internet' s Day, a solidarity action. METHODOLOGY: the methodology we are using is collaborative groups through different subjects in class : from English, Geography, Gymnastics, to Arts or Sciences. As we are spread out across at least 1. 000 kms, we will work using digital tools and English as the only common language among the 4 countries. Teachers have written this document sharing a lot of documents on Google Docs, Facebook platform and Google Drive beside lots of activities have been shared on Edmodo platform. RESULTS: the results we want to obtain in a short term are to improve language and digital skills in our students, to make them use the Internet creatively and to perceive the feasibility of their healthy everyday life (physical and mental). It will also allow teachers to use different teaching methods and, what is more important, set up networks of partners for future educative projects. IMPACT: the impact of this project is expected to be significant as it allows teachers to work in an innovative and creative way, use new methodologies, digital platforms and learning tools. Also, students will develop and practice their lifelong learning skills and contribute to a better everyday life, a better literacy, a better use of technology and promote tolerance. The “HealTH AT School” project will have an impact on our community establishing international contacts and enabling a cultural enrichment for all the community. LONG TERM BENEFITS: We have seen in the European projects previously developed in our schools that actions in Europe are a vital element to obtain high quality and creative long-term results within the educational and local community. It also allows the recognition and positive social assessment by families, by local communities, by other educational entities and by the regional administration. We believe that the ""HealTH AT School"" project is a good opportunity for all, pupils, educators, and the local community to realize that the greatest importance in modern social reality is to learn living with quality by taking the timeless saying of the great Greek philosopher Aristotle into consideration that ""life is not as important as quality of life."""
