Project Summary

The K2 Erasmus + project ”All for Health and Health for All ” brought together 6 public schools from six European countries: Spain, Romania, Turkey, Bulgaria, Poland and Italy. Romanian and Turkey had previously participated in LLP projects, SPAIN, BULGARIA, POLAND and ITALY were for the FIRST TIME in a European partnerships. Therefore, this project was a good opportunity for transfer and exchange of experience regarding project management between partners (pupils, teachers and local communities and authorities).
The main aim of the project was to promote healthy nutrition, preserving traditional dishes, removing risk of obesity through sport and healthy environment conservation in a joint campaign in Europe.
We achieved our goal through two pathways:
1. by theoretical information-which included information about nutrition and debate on the right to healthy and safe; the children of today are the adults of tomorrow, which is why we must engage in valuable experiences that will help them become informed citizens;
2. by practical activities (transnational volunteering, workshops, debate, seminar, exhibition, celebrations) performed by pupils, parents, teachers- the project was an experience that remained in the memory of the young people, teachers and families involved.
The project’s theme was included in schools’ curricula (classes of science, civic education, geography, foreign languages, ICT, technical education, arts, music). Our project’s target group was pupils from 6 to 15 years old. The staff leaded project’s management strongly related to students by mixed working teams (boy and girls from all the partner’s schools). The project’s activities involved teachers, pupil’s families, local authorities and communities, too, for a better impact and dissemination.
Final products: 2 E- magazine ”Children Save the Nature” and ” We choose Health”, Web-page, Blog, Facebook account, advertising leaflet, Brochure and DVDs with all the materials (final products, articles, movies, photos). All those were used to disseminate the ongoing results and all the activities performed during the project.

The project’s benefit was:
– for pupils: to value health through healthy food choices, abilities to meet new European colleagues and develop new friendships – they gave a positive role model, educational success was encouraged and improved; they achieved information regarding ICT, foreign languages, traditions of other nation and also they learned how to manage activities in the project because they had various responsibilities: monitoring, evaluating, making the publicity of the project, promoting the Democracy attitudes among the community.
