Project Summary

I’m a H.E.R.O. is an Erasmus + project in which 5 partner schools from Poland (III Colonel Dionizy Czachowski Secondary School in Radom), Northern Macedonia (Sredno Opstinsko Uciliste Ljupco Santov v. Kocani), Greece (Esperino Geniko Lykeio Grevena), Romania (Liceum General) and Spain (Grupo Sorolla Educación) have joined in. III Colonel Dionizy Czachowski Secondary School in Radom who is the coordinator of the project takes part in it for the first time. The rest of the partners have already participated in the previous editions of the program.
All schools wishing to join the program have declared to implement the project related to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle. The aim of the project is to make young people aware of the risks stemming from an unhealthy lifestyle, just as much as to develop healthy attitudes among project participants and their families through a number of attractive activities conducted primarily at school, as well as outside of it, and to raise young people’s awareness of the direct correlation of a healthy lifestyle with their health.
As part of our activities, we want to draw from the knowledge and experience of partner schools that have already participated in Erasmus + programs. One of the goals is to develop high language competence, both for students and teachers, which we will accomplish through a language course for teaching staff and direct contact with our partners during trips and communication with them via online platforms. Thanks to this, we will build our mutual network of contacts and exchange good experiences. Another goal of our activities will also be strengthening of IT skills through the use of various computer programs. Our project will expand knowledge and skills, develop students’ creativity and make them more open to the world.
Our actions will be aimed at strengthening healthy attitudes among our students and their families, and will indirectly affect other recipients of the project. By sharing knowledge on how to protect yourself against threats, even in the form of some civilization diseases (e.g. diabetes, obesity, hypertension), which are associated with poor eating habits and lack of physical activity, we may not only contribute to raising awareness of project participants, but also to their better physical and mental health. The project is directed at students aged 14 – 19 from five partner schools, teachers and the local community. Five students from each partner school and two teachers will participate in the mobility, while the entire school community, parents and representatives of the local community, will be involved in the activities of the given school. We want to achieve the planned goals throughout modules spread over two years, organizing:
– a series of workshops – e.g. on health education, relaxation techniques, art therapy
– theme-based lessons,
– mobility – visits of partners in Poland, Romania, Greece, Northern Macedonia, Spain,
– holding video conferences,
– competitions , e.g. for the project logo, for a healthy daily menu, for the best composed weekly lunch box, origami or kirigami sculpture, “Count calories”
– joint development of leaflets, posters, postcards, t-shirt designs/bags with theme of the project,
– a series of sport and recreation activities,
– meetings with specialists: with a physiotherapist and masseur, dietician, etc.,
– other events – ‘Dance Day’, ‘Party Taste’, ‘Spring Picnic’, ‘Winter Taste’, ‘Live Pictures’,.
– promoting the results of activities on eTwinning and MobilityTool +, in the form of vlogs, films, presentations, avatars, quizzes etc. and on social media.

The activities planned by us will have a very specific impact on the goals set in the project. Health-related activities, learning foreign languages ​​and increasing digital competences correspond to the challenges of the modern world, giving the possibility of a comprehensive approach to comprehensive development. The use of a foreign language especially during everyday activities, joint conversations or trips will help break down communication barriers, giving measurable results. Our activities will also translate into acquiring better interpersonal skills and in shaping a conscious – healthy attitude and openness to the surrounding world and its requirements. Thanks to our project activities, we hope to achieve specific results that are related to the goals and priorities set. The result of the project will be the formation of an open graduate who, together with the acquired knowledge, will be able to acknowledge the world and the environment in a conscious, yet responsible manner. The activities planned by us will undoubtedly contribute to increasing health competences of the project participants, giving measurable benefits to everyone. We are convinced that the participation of everyone involved in the project will result in shaping future healthy attitudes of our students, their families and local communities.
