Project Summary

Every school wishes to have healthy learners and our project aims at educating the students to engage in physical activities, namely sports recreational activities in order to gain physical and mental health, view life with more positive eyes and improve their creative and communication skills by making their voice heard when sharing their thoughts and ideas in a foreign language on various Internet foums or learn to listen and understand other cultures.
Every activity of the project serves to make use of and improve students’ English and many activities will include constructive methods or techniques as a teaching strategy in the instructional procedure, thus reinforcing students’ creativity and capacity to act efficiently as well as to use the new technologies in a positive manner. The project’s main objectives is to motivate students aged 14-19, to increase their interest in fighting pollution sources and stimulate them to find solutions by starting with themselves, by changing their own attitude with regards to the theme of the project as well as to be aware of the need of an appropriate infrastructure of the towns and cities for active sports participations. The idea is to involve the local community and to inform people about the ‘sports culture’ with the emphasis on its convenience as an alternative to a regular consumerist lifestyle. Among the expected results of the project we enumerate the training of students on how to engage in sports activities safely, how to ride their bike safely, there should also be a growth in number of sport lovers individuals as the project students’ families will be involved along with the eldest generation. Establishing a Cycling Club in each of our schools and, as potential long term benefits for our city/town, to set an ‘Annual Sporting Day ‘ and to organize campaigns to increase the local population’s sports awareness in accordance with the EU policy objectives.
It will be the sort of project that blends the joy of volunteering with the joy of learning. It is a project that is characterized by its interdisciplinary dimension: it is dedicated to those who love nature and sports, geography and history, gastronomy and healthy foods, as well as technology and languages.
As far as the number of participants is concerned, there will be students, parents or members of school staff wishing to participate and make their contributions to the project, there is no limit, as the project is open to everyone willing to cooperate in order to be part or pursue the goals of the project. However, there will be a total number of around 30 participants (per each country) that will get to be involved in mobilities to partner countries so that they learn about another people’s culture and habits and meet the other participants from the other countries whom they had been virtually talking to via e-Twinning, Facebook and other digital means.
The project appears as an educational trip through five countries and six distinctive schools with specific traditions and customs, but whose people share a common interest and awareness that being physically active is a natural state of mind a part of nature of the ones who cherish the environment as well as being dynamic, active and happy.
