Project Summary

We came from a deficit of healthy habits in physical exercise and food to which added a considerable improvement in the use of ICT, as well as promoting the cultural heritage of certain areas that had a lack of ideas for this, these have been our workhorses to work in the project partners. For this, a multitude of activities have been carried out, although it culminated with the star activity of the project which combined all of them, such as the installation of the trail with panels during the tour with QR codes promoting cultural heritage whose inauguration was attended by the mayor, councilors, representatives of the teachers, students, families, etc., which remained.

PHASES AND ACTIVITIES.

1. Data collection & analysis. Questionnaires were used in different educational centers as well as in middle primary levels, data collection of physical exercises with digital bracelets.

2. Results Analysis. Based on these data and advised by the Doctor of the University of Almería Pedro José González, who guided and advised us both in person and online on how to intervene.

3. Involvement. We have carried out different fields of intervention, carrying out sports leagues with the participation of the entire city and ages, implanted extracurricular activities in our educational centers which were deficient or with a very poor offer, food workshops with students and families, healthy breakfasts in all the stages of the school, we implement the healthy kilometer by walking every day for 15 minutes at the beginning of the school day. we visited professional clubs so we started from the beginning of the project we had to request permits, measure trails, design posters, create QRs, study the cultural heritage of the area as well as the trail route.

4. Mid-term evaluation of the activities which have been put into practice and also implement a plan to disseminate the activities . Halfway through the project we evaluated the sports activities that were implemented through attendance records and user surveys as well as improving and continuing those that were successful, for this we carried out a pooling between partners to exchange experiences, data and results and build between everybody. As in the visit to Krakow, we were able to see and enjoy the trail in this city.

5. Correction & valuation adjustment of initial actions according to the degree of achievement of the main targets. In this phase is when the coronavirus broke out, so some activities had to be reduced in participants, we could not take samples in other centers so we had to adapt to the new measures and standards of the world. Therefore, the initial results with the final ones have only been able to be compared with the students of our center since we could not put the bracelets on children from other centers, Although we were able to complete the questionnaires at all levels and centers that were carried out at the beginning of the project.

6. Global evaluation, and publicity & promotional tools to maximize impact.

One of the obsessions of our project, being two new centers such as Spanish and Polish in Erasmus +, was the impact and dissemination of the project in our environment, for that we established forms and times in a dissemination plan.

Regarding the impact, from the beginning, data collection on nutrition and physical activity was carried out with two nearby educational centers, which is why it has been possible to implement these forms of measurement as well as joint sports activities between centers, sports extracurricular activities have been implemented as well as workshops food for students and families of the centers. We have worked continuously with the teaching center during the life of the project, helping us in the dissemination of the project, as well as at the end of it we were proposed to carry out training for teachers of ICT tools for the measurement and control of eating habits and physical exercise from of the experience with this Erasmus project. In addition, the number of teachers in each center that uses E-Twinning has increased since most of them were unaware of it, establishing online relationships with more European centers as well as raising awareness from the institution to open the center to Europa a department for erasmus and internationalization has been created in each center.

Regarding the dissemination of the project, many different ways have been played to reach as many people as better, from relationships with sports clubs having references in their social networks with a great impact in the media as well as different programs on local televisions, visits to national radio studios with local programs. As well as making radio and TV programs in the center itself open to the entire city. Just as an agreement has been reached to carry out a Teaching Unit in work teams in the area with all the educational centers in the area and make a joint day of coexistence.
