Project Summary

“Combination of Healthy Eating and Doing Sport ” brings together 5 schools from France, Spain, Poland, 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 involves 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. 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 lifestylesamong 100 students from the 5 schools reunited in the present project for 24 months.
to achieve the main aim, this 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 are the number intended to be the direct beneficiaries in our project (100 students aged 12-14 and 40 teachers).At the level of the partnership, there will be involved 250 students aged 12-14, 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 tosum 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 project 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 on7th 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, all the participants will enrich their communicative skills, will come into contact with different languages, cultures and lifestyles. The people involved will become more efficient in managing in multicultural environments and they will also develop socially.
