Therefore, a partnership formed by these six countries will work together to implement the project Health to Meet You (HealMe). The partner schools are:

By means of participating in an ad and slogan contest, handing out at a community level brochures and project posters, and taking part in workshops organised during mobilities, students (14-18 years) will become the main target of the project objectives regarding the increase of awareness needed. Families will be also involved in doing the activities included in the lessons guide so they will be also aware of the need to become role models for their children regarding healthy habits, screen use, nutrition, doing sports, making a good food choice, among others.
