Project Summary

Project aim was to learn and use healthy European life habits together; healthy food, sports, studying and social life spiced with different cultures from Finland, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Teachers are worried that modern digitalization make children play more and more computer games and spent their time inside. In this project tried to make children to find joy of different kind of sports. Fast food is nowadays available for children cheap and easy. In this project we aimed to teach children how to make healthy food and find that healthy food can be easy to make and taste good. Playing Computer games can be social but still being together with other young people in different activities like sports, dancing, drama, making food and math workshops are important for social life.

The partner schools completed the objectives which were the support and development their strategic educational goals in an international project. The project activities were focused on promoting healthy life style via organizing sport events and activities, promoting healthy eating habits and supporting active approach to spending pupils’s leisure time (e. g. walking in nature, reading, drama, dancing, musical instruments).
Each school had a different national background and international cooperation of the schools created a perfect melting pot for different ideas and good practices which they shared and promoted.

We provided young children and teenagers positive examples and models for their life, inspired them and taught them how to get healthy habits for their future lives. Pupils liked various competitions implemented during the project, shared their experience with peers, tried many new things covered by project activities as a means of learning.

Project promoted social inclusion of children from socially disadvantaged background as well as pupils with special educational needs as sport has no limitations regarding family background or problems with reading and writing.

Last but not least, the project focused on exploration of history and geographical / natural surroundings of the project partners.

The project became the base for the strategic partnership of schools and municipalities in the future for more than 5 years ahead.
