Project Summary

“Healthier Together” is an Erasmus+ K229 partnership formed by 5 high schools from France,Turkey,Croatia,Italy and Romania.The project is intended to raise the awareness towards the risk factors on health as well as the effects of health on the prosperity of countries.Our plan is to identify the most important 5 issues related to our health and examine them in detail with a wide range of activities:Eating habits,sports habits,emotional factors,addictions and other issues (hygiene,personal care,first aid techniques).

The aims of the project:

– to exchange experience among European schools, transfer the best practices and implement the innovative practices in the partner schools

-to improve the students’ success,self-esteem and motivation,creativity
-to develop and promote innovative teaching methods and materials improving students’ IT skills
-to encourage the use of foreign languages as a tool of communication
