The project is implemented in the international cooperation of three schools from Poland, Romania and Italy (choice of partners was based on the earlier contacts, as well as the Global Gateway platform).

-Joint development of procedures of the identification, diagnosis and monitoring of disadvantaged students and the disappearance of social competencies in partner schools and the diagnosis of these phenomena

• broaden the knowledge of students about the dangers of today’s world
• provide good patterns connected with a healthy, sporty, safe lifestyle

•Modernization and attractiveness of teaching methods and tools used by teachers, implemented during basic curricula in the field of PE and health and safety areas
•Expanding students’ knowledge about the dangers of today’s world
•Development of language competences of pupils and teachers
The project assumption is mainly impact on project participants and students’ parents. However, due to the global nature of threats and needs, it is also assumed that the impact on the school environment is at the regional level. In addition, there is impact on regional, national, European and international level on other teachers, students and parents. Therefore, the dissemination of the project through electronic media (website, eTwinning, Facebook) is implemented mainly in English, and the local dissemination in the languages of the partner countries.
After finishing the project, the activities to sustain the results of the project are planned. Due to the possibility of very wide use of the products it is worth to emphasize the following activities:
• Constant monitoring of the disappearance of social competences and disadvantaged groups of pupils
• Inclusion of students from disadvantaged groups through sport – implementation during PE and extracurricular activities
• Maintaining and developing introduced system solutions that encourage students to participate in sport activities – implementation during standard school lessons – classroom hours (PE) and extracurricular activities organized by the school
• Modernization and attractiveness of teaching methods and tools used by teachers, implemented during basic curricula in the field of PE, and health and safety areas – implementation during standard school resources – PE lessons and extracurricular activities organized by the partners’ schools
• Updating the list of topics (areas of health, safety, sport) that are relevant to students and updating the way how to communicate them to students.
