Project Summary

“EcoSport: let’s get ready for a healthy life” comes from the common imagination that of the new generation that spends a lot of time in computer games, television, internet and video, elements that significantly limit the learning experiences of young people. The project therefore aims to highlight those values ​​shared by the countries involved, such as: love and respect for the environment, a new way of understanding sport, but also socialization, physical well-being and health through sports outdoor and multidisciplinary linked to the knowledge of the natural environment and to the education of its correct use. These are sensory experiences that everyone should live, but that today the urban environment and daily routines do not allow it. Furthermore, the difficult socio-environmental context of the coordinating school, that of the “land of fires” in which distrust and fear take power over any hope for an environmental solution and the search for a better future by the young people who live here, is the main motivation of the project: to guarantee the educational success of each student in a European perspective and a social rebirth with the acquisition of the skills that can be spent both in daily life and in the formation of a personality, able to achieve possible and desired maximum degrees of autonomy, obtainable by each subject. The partner institutes intend to promote, through it, the educational success of all pupils by adopting inclusive, innovative and active practices in a European dimension of training that leads pupils to acquire ever wider linguistic, IT and communication skills (from the use of technologically advanced products such as virtual 3D, video clips and shareable virtual platforms). The didactic and educational objectives will allow to: promote education to altruism, respect, dialogue, understanding, solidarity, cooperation, friendship, equality, peace towards all people and all cultures. Develop awareness of diversity as a “value” to be lived and shared. Promote the training of the person with respect for their individuality. Promote the development of social skills that allow interaction with others. Promote the social and educational inclusion of DSA and BES pupils.Promote the idea of ​​active citizenship of the population through sport, “teamwork” and “principles such as fair play, adherence to the rules of the game, respect for others, solidarity and discipline, as a tool to combat social exclusion and to address issues related to gender equality and interculturality. This project through different workshops on habits, methodologies and strategies present in the three different European countries involved (Italy, Portugal and Spain) during the whole implementation will be proposed a series of activities during mobility, within which the theme of inclusion will be addressed with the educational method of peer-tutoring: 1) Active and healthy life: promoting physical activity in the natural environment with activities in the immediate vicinity of: excursions / sports orientation, sailing / canoeing, bike / mountain ski track, while we discover the flora and fauna of the environment, in an environment of respect for equals and inclusion. 2) Inclusive sports activities: alternative and inclusive team sports where cooperation prevails. Game rules Enhance the Mediterranean diet and establish the values ​​of a healthy diet. Sport that is good for the spirit and the body, but also sport that is good and protects the environment. Training yourself today, with a spirit of sportiness and honesty, will mean training tomorrow to defend the natural landscape from abuse, neglect and abandonment. Everything will be finalized with the realization of “Environmental Olympics” which will be held in the coordinating country as the final event of the project which will see pupils and teachers of the three different nationalities experimenting and improving themselves in sporting and orienteering activities with the aim of promoting socialization, improving mutual knowledge and establishing an international team spirit and a positive relationship environment in the children that will allow them to face the future in an atmosphere of collaboration and mutual respect, acquiring a strong awareness and environmental awareness.
