За проекта

In a world of large consumption the school should teach the adolescents how to become and behave as reasonable consumers who are able to make informed choices and take care of their and their relatives' health.

Our project team feels the need to develop a greater awareness of the problems concerning sedentary lifestyle, non-reasonable diets and substance addiction facing members of society within schools and wider communities. We would like to encourage our participants to be more open-minded and understanding of the expectations our societies have towards them and realise how the whole community can benefit from healthier people.

We believe there is more to becoming a successful student than academic success - the development of the whole adolescent. It is essential to promote a healthy and balanced attitude towards life and encourage students to protect themselves against the threats that may hinder their potential.

Our project team believes in the role of schools in establishing lifestyle changes and helping our children lead healthier lives. We will also direct our efforts towards campaigns promoting substance clean young people who are able to control their own lives.

Our project team will encourage research work (the effect of physical activity on academic performance, BMI, nutrients and health), provide helpful info, support healthy choices, initiate campaigns aimed at healthy diets, water drinking, against substance addiction and promote physical activity. We will promote cutting down on screen time and strengthening the cardio system through sports and dances.

Through the introduction of healthy lifestyle in our schools we will improve academic performance among our students. The participants will realise that students who maintain a balanced diet miss fewer days of school due to illness; students who engage in regular physical activity have a better attitude towards school; students who regularly exercise and do not misuse substances and alcohol show reduced signs of hyperactivity and aggression; sports promote self-esteem and independence; students display less disruptive behavior as a consequence of regular physical activity; students who eat well and exercise regularly show fewer signs of anxiety or depression. 

We believe that upon the end of the project our schools will be distinguished as centres of healthy lifestyle in our regions and towns.

Working on internationally based projects adds value to the students’ concrete results and outcomes and provides them with new chances to share and compare knowledge and skills with peers whom they are normally not able to communicate with.

Being realised in a multicultural environment, the project cooperation also acts as a motivation tool and stimulus for the students to master their fluency in foreign languages and ICT and foster their capability to accept and respect other nations, religions, cultures, etc.
