Project Summary

The project ‘Create more healthy Europe’ has been addressed to a wide community of participating schools with special emphasis put on students. We put an effort to teach students, their hardworking or less educated parents as well as grandparents involved in diffetent stereotypes healthy way of living. We learnt them some good habits such as bringing healthy lunches, ability to behave in difficult situations (first aid trainings), maintain proper posture and live with agreement with surrounding. We wanted them stop wasting natural sources as well as food. They were taught how to process food, how to distinguish healthy from unhealthy, how to understand food labels and what different symbols mean. We encouraged students to spend time outdoors and play some interesting games which were presented by each country. On the other hand we did not discourage them from using ICT techniques, but it was provided with some ideas how to use it properly without too much risk. The idea was that students would take all habits home and infect adults with healthy lifestyle. The project was a possibility to open our local community into world to share ideas and experiences in order to abolish stereotypes and support each other. All of participants – students, parents, staff were encouraged to improve their social and language skills while hosting or taking part in school activities. There are about 2000 students from 7 schools all over Europe who took part of the project. Some of them come from big cities or capitals (Ankara, Dijon, Łódź), some of them are representatives of smaller communities (Szeghalom, Burton-upon-Trent), so we were able to exchange our ideas, points of views of working, teaching and learning in different situations, facing different problems. In such a group there were about 500 students with different difficulties, mostly financial that influence their lives. For them such a project is the only possiblity to learn and visit foreign countries. The project gave the chance for everyone: those talented in art, music, sport or ICT. Different types of activities (dramas during school assemblies, drawing, preparing brochures and posters, taking part in workshops about sport activities and preparing food,The most relevant result were connected with preserving habits that were sustained during the project and, we believ, after it. Moreover a lot of materials, lesson plans, brochures, DVD’s are a good start in future teaching about health in a broad sense. On the basis of exchanged ideas and experiences innvoative programmes will be created (in P.E there will be extracurricular lesson connected with dancing and in language section, there will be communicative skills extracurricular lessons, in ICT programming lessons will be conducted) which will implement the schools curricula. We shared our ideas through internet,schools and the project webapages, local media and during Edu Week or Edu day that were held during the project.
