Project Summary

„Healthy body, healthy mind“ is a multilateral project of strategic partnership of six secondary schools from the Czech Republic, Finland, Turkey, Portugal, Spain and Italy that will cooperate for two years on activities focused on sport and healthy lifestyle.

The project is composed of various local activities, six short exchanges of groups of pupils (LTT activities, 3 each year) and a long-term e-Twinning cooperation. The LTT activity will last 6 days + 2 days for travel (respectively 5 + 2 days in meetings 1 and 2, where online and eTwinning cooperation will be strengthened)

The objectives of our project are above all connected with acquiring and developing the key competences of the participants which is the main priority of the project. By participation in the project the students and teachers will develop communication and langage competences, social and digital competences, extend their creative skills, raise their cultural awareness and sense of initiative and entrepreneurship.

There will be the following groups involved in the project:
a) students
b) teachers
c) other school staff
d) parents
e) public

a) students will be involved both into local and learning/teaching/training activities (mobilities), into the e-Twinning cooperation, promotion, dissemination and evaluation activities and cooperation with sport organizations. We presume to involve minimum 30 students from each partner school into local activities, 15 students will participate in mobilities (3 students from each school in each mobility).

b) teachers will be involved into local activities, learning/teaching/training activities (mobilities), promotion, dissemination and evaluation activities, into cooperation with local municipalities, sport organizations etc.

c) other school staff – legal representatives of the school (headmasters) will be the members of the project teams and will be responsible for supervising project activities and the project as a whole together with the coordinator of the project, as well as for proper use of the grant. Other members of the school staff will be involved only into local activities and organising the meeting in their country.

d) parents will be involved into organizations of the meetings in their countries together with their children, hosting foreign students, cooperation with sport organizations and other institutions according to their possibilities. Parents will be also involved into some dissemination activities.

e) public – will be involved into some local activities held in the partner towns.

The age group of the participating students in this project is 14-19, they all attend secondary schools in the partner countries.

The main topics covered in this project are sport activities (swimming, cross-country skiing, baseball, beach volley, water sports and orienteering). Side topics focused on healthy lifestyle include basic life support, overcoming stress, using natural sources, mediterranean cusine, keeping fit and sport as a tool to fight with early school leaving). Each participating school will be responsible for one main topic and one side topic as well as for one dissemination tool (webpage, Twinspace, booklet, magazines, videos and photodocumentation).

In our project we are going to use various methods and organise a variety of activities which will lead to achievement of the project´s objectives: workshops, research, presentations, discussions, interviews, creative work, cooperation through e-Twinning, sport and outdoor activities, intercultural activities etc.

The results of the project will be gained or developed competences of the students and teachers (communication and language, social, digital, sense of initiative and entrepreneurship and cultural awareness), developed cooperation with partner schools, municipalities, NGOs and organizations working in sport sector. Concrete results we would like to produce are magazines, posters, leaflets, booklet, promotional materials, presentations, project webpage, facebook page, logo and Twinspace.

All participating schools will share and disseminate the results of their work on local, regional, national and international level. Various dissemination tools, both online and offline will be used for dissemination, the most effective will be the project webpage, facebook page, magazines and various promotional materials.

The project will have impact on the participating schools and on other people from public on the local, national and international level. The participation in this project will contribute to the development of the participating schools as they will improve the quality of their international cooperation, quality of their work with students, will become more visible on public and more attractive for future students. The participation will also help the schools create tighter contacts between teachers and students, teachers and parents, schools and municipalities, schools and various sport organizations etc.
