"Feel it!" Represents a common interest for all the countries involved in this Long Life learning multilateral project and it implies a precise number of students and teachers trying to work together in order to make visible the regions where they are coming from. The Delors Report (UNESCO 1998) states that emotional education is an essential cognitive development and an essential tool for prevention, since many problems have their origin in the emotional sphere . Currently, from different areas , highlights the need for an educational intervention that facilitates balance and emotional stability because we know that emotions and feelings guide most of the decisions and actions of many . Certain values become integrated only if in addition to being reasoned , are ways, for example, true empathy can not develop without self-awareness of their own emotions. Emotional education is educable and should last a lifetime. The basis of this process and resources should be provided from all fields of education . It aims to open construction process and provide personal strategies to move from their own uniqueness . Basic principles of emotional education : • develops throughout life . • be developed through processes experienced .. • be structured and integrate all learning during practice This partnership consists of work shops, creative work on leaflets, video captures, photo taking and specific trips in order to make pupils realize which is the most important contribution of eating and its effects on our health. They will have the opportunity to develop their skills and probably get fluency in expressing their ideas, thoughts and modalities of creating all kind of recipes. They will also have the opportunity to work in team and visit all kind of places where pupils usually eat better or worse. This project will invigorate the students ability of interacting with each other, helping to create a friendly atmosphere and an environment defined by tolerance and collaborative acceptance. All the elements implied: students, staff, parents, local community will be gathered and well determined. We expect that at the end of these two years, get a modern technological base and help all the participants get new abilities personal and collectives. Different aspects regarding the way of living in all participants' countries, cultural issues, educational problems, ways of developing creativity, will be all implied in this project having as a final product a book and a web site where all the activities and the important contents discovered will be posted.

When we are very young our emotions can be confusing but as we grow older we learn to understand them and to respond appropriately to them. We also learn how to understand and react to the emotions of others. Our Project is about helping the young people in our schools to develop the emotional intelligence that they will need to become adults who can deal appropriately with emotions and take their place as well-rounded members of society. It has been highlighted in many areas that there is a need for an educational intervention which facilitates balance and emotional stability because we know that emotions and feelings guide most of the decisions and actions that we take. Certain values can become integrated into our behaviour but only if we can first understand them and the impact that they can have. True empathy cannot develop without self-awareness of our own emotions. Emotional education can be taught and should last a lifetime. Basic principles of emotional education : • develops throughout life . • be developed through processes experienced . • be structured and integrate all learning during practice. Such teaching and learning does not need to be delivered through separate subject teaching but can be achieved using all aspects of the current curriculum. The starting point of Emotional Education should be the individual and should provide personal strategies that build on the understanding and uniqueness of the individual. Children and teachers from each school have been learning about each other through an exchange of work and communications. They are exploring their feelings and emotions through a variety of themes and sharing their learning and discovery across the partnership of schools. They are developing their self-awareness by considering: How they respond to works of art, to music or to films? What can they learn about behaviour from traditional stories or games? How do our families and communities help us to understand our emotions and needs and how they fit in with the emotions and needs of others? At our project meetings in each of the participating schools, the work we are doing is being shared through presentations, displays and discussion. What we are finding out is being shared back in our own schools. Through this interaction we are learning about our shared feelings and how we deal with them. We are learning to understand and appreciate the feelings of those from different countries and cultures and to see that there is much more that brings us together than pushes us apart.
