Project Summary

The Project “Eat well, Move more, Live better” will be implemented by a partnership consisting of six secondary schools from different European countries: Germany, Turkey, Bulgaria, Poland, Spain and Latvia. All of them are general education schools. Two of them are WHO associated schools, some are experts in implementing health and sport in general education.

Healthy eating habits and obesity became an EU priority with the European Agenda for Health in 2007. We would like to carry out this project to increase the importance of health and sport education at schools, to draw attention to obesity that causes many diseases. Our project’s context is health eating habits, healthy life, obesity, sport and the implementation of 21st century students’ skills into general, health and sport education at schools.

The project will also be community-centered. By collaboration with various local institutions and informal groups of people, we hope to enhance the local social capital in our city and make it a better place to live. The project will offer an extremely stimulating and developing experience for the students that will change their attitudes and perception of the world, influence their life choices, give them the drive to pursue their aims, bring out their hidden skills, help them to become active and conscious members of their local communities, nations and truly European citizens.

It will be a two-year project. We’ll carry out 6 LTT activities. 4 students and 2 teachers will join in every project meeting. The students are hosted in host families for a better cultural awareness. Our project is built on our ongoing Etwinning project. The National ID is 215174.

We’ll deal with various forms of health and sport such as voleyball, table tennis, football, cycling, handball, tennis, athletics, and organic garden for learning healthy cultivating, using them to trigger and develop healthy-sportive perspective of students, to help them enriching and bringing out their hidden 21st Century skills. By using non-academic activities, we want to attract the high intelligence students who don’t have time to bring out their skills or the students who don’t want to participate in social activities or who see healthy life and physical activity unnecessary because of the technological development, who have domestic economic problems and give them a chance to feel important, build their personality and selfconfidence.

Moreover, working together with representatives of other nations’ health and sport institutions we’ll raise awareness of obesity, healthy life and physical activities.
We’ll create joint end products: the logo of the project, the project nutrition book, the video of Erasmus+ Olympic Games on healthy physical activities, preparing a mascot by using 21st century skills, preparing food pyramid by using recycling materials, preparing public spot, project blog, utube channel, preparing organic garden and teaching to cultivate and a set of lesson plans for lessons conducted in health institutions and sport institutions.

To achieve objectives of our project, we’ll do various kinds of activities, such as workshops, competitions, exhibitions, evaluations… that other institutions like other schools in our localities, health and sport centres, restaurants, children homes, old people homes will be taken part in. The activities are aimed not only to create end products, but also to form attitudes of entrepreneurship and leadership, teach teamwork skills, perform well in new situations, cooperate with people of
different backgrounds, develop 21st century students skills, develop foreign language skill, form resources for UNICEF and WHO, learn new teaching methods, form a sense of national identity by attending lessons health and sport centres.

Project-based learning, live and learn, social interaction model, Evaluation methods, Enquiry-based learning approach, Question-answer, Discussion, Brainstorming, Hands-on method, Place-based education are methodologies while we are implementing the project for ensuring active involvement of the students in the activities.
Project is student-centered, the students will be all project activities at all stages from preparation to evaluation, dissemination of its results and teachers’ll only guide them.

We’ll upload all the tangible project results to the school websites, the joint project website and to the European database- in national languages and English, so that people all over the world interested in them can download them and use them free of charge, give reports, evaluation results to National Education and Health Ministry to maintain some curricula changes, form health resources for WHO, form sport resources for National Sports Federations

With activities we will learn the reasons of obesity and how we will decrease the obesity rate. We will do analysis and we will share this informations with UNICEF, WHO, National Sport Institutions,National Education Ministry,Politicians
