Project Summary

CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND
In the World Health Organization Global Consultation (Health For The World’s Adolescents -2014), adolescents considered the top health-compromising behaviours among their peers to be: unhealthy diets/ physical inactivity /alcohol and other substance use/ poor sleep habits. That’s why this project deals with wellness, sport and eating habits related to teenagers caught in a time when they are trying to make sense of the rapid bodily changes that they are experiencing. Furthermore the percentage of teenagers who practice sport is notably decreasing as they are more attracted by computer games, virtual sporting practice and mobile addicts. Fewer than 1 in every 4 adolescents meets the recommended guidelines for physical activity – 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity daily (WHO -Adolescents: health risks and solutions – Fact sheet -Updated May 2016). Adolescents also require the knowledge and support to develop an healthy lifelong relationship with food to reinforce long-term health, as well as to develop a positive body image.

OBJECTIVES:
-to raise awareness about the importance of healthy living and physical activity
-to improve students’ quality of life and abilities at school
-to give students information about potential risks related to some techniques and/or products to enhance physical performance
-to develop students’ perspective and reflection on learning in a global world through computer-supported collaborative learning platforms, intercultural communication, exchange and mobilities
