“Change your lifestyle!”
Project No: 2019-1-RO01-KA229-063230_1
Project Summary
The primary focus of the project titled “Change your lifestyle!” is to
promote a healthy lifestyle through proper diet and physical exercises among
children. The project aims to shape new healthy behavior, and develop habits
and skills that will help children to take care of their own health. This will
be achieved by inspiring pupils to take up pro-health activities, both at
school and at home, developing their interests in areas concerned with health
protection and improvement, encouraging children to take up new active forms of
leisure, such as various sports, and inviting their peers to do them, and by
educating children to recognize, avoid and/or counteract health hazards.
Number and profile of participants: Our project main target groups are
pupils and teachers together with indirect beneficiaries of the project
activities (parents, local officials, teachers from other schools, NGO's as
local partners).
Description of activities:
In our project there are planned 3 short-term joint staff training
events for teachers in Romania/2019, Greece/2020 and Spain/2021(seminars and
workshops on dynamics of a healthy life style – doing sports regularly, being
active and balanced diet).The theme of these training events are "The
importance of eating and sports in our life"(Romania, 2
participants/country, 3 days), "The way to a healthy lifestyle"(Greece,
4 participants / country, 5 days) and "We -Europe(Spain, 2
participants/country, 3 days). During these meetings we will also discuss about
the plans, drafts and final versions of final products, as well as, exchange
the experiences and ideas for the project activities. Teachers will receive
Europass Mobility documents and Certificates of Attendance. We have also planned
a pupils exchange once a year(in Slovenia, November 2019, in Italy, October
2020, in Turkey, February 2021).
Each school will involve 6 pupils and 2 accompanying teacher in each of
the pupil exchanges. Pupils mobilities, where children can train themselves in
healthy lifestyle with workshops and learning-teaching training activities and
protecting environment and have the chance of being a part of the international
short film as actors or actresses(Mobillity Certificate for students). At
schools we will organize many national trainings and seminars with dentists,
local doctors, chemists, psychologists. We will organize sports events as well
as workshops for children. Our pupils will be involved in research on
traditional food recipes and traditional childhood games, they will learn and
collaborate on the eTwinning platform, they will play traditional games, they
will create the project logo, the Games dictionary and they will participate in
the first school year to an experiment based on adopting a healthy lifestyle
provided by the education through project activities. Thanks to the activities,
our students will reduce the consumption of fast food and junk food by virtue
of the activities, have awareness about the importance of food like fresh
vegetables and fruits, realize the importance of an active life and exercises.
Our families will have a good relationship with school and their children.
They will realize the importance of the physical activities for their children.
The families, especially the working mothers and fathers, will realize the
importance of preparing healthy lunch boxes for their children. The teachers
will conduct the activities in cooperation with the parents so their
relationship will get stronger.
Impact:
The project will impact on teachers and students(they will be more open
to innovations, new changes, eager to work in the international groups, eager
to change their lifestyles), students' parents, local educational government,
local primary and secondary schools, regional, national and European health and
environmental organisations, which will be informed about project activities
and results.
Methodology:
Our project's activities will contain all necessary phases. We will
prepare ourselves for implementation project activities(trainings for
teachers), implement gained knowledge, monitor if it works with our students,
evaluate and disseminate the project results. We will create technology
enhanced, student-centered learning environments which organize interrelated
learning themes into meaningful contexts. As a result of our project, we will
be able to transfer our results to other institutions, mainly schools which
will use our project products such as "Europe's taste recipes" book,
"Europe's games" brochure and the curriculum program "HEALTHY
BODY, HEALTHY MIND" which will be shared on a variety of channels(printed,
project web site, eTwinning space, Facebook group, teachers' magazines, web
sites and forums) during the dissemination process. We will continue our
collaboration after the project ends and we will keep contact via eTwinning
Learning Lab platform and Facebook groups continuing to update it with our new
experiences and activities on the project theme.
