Project summary

In our Erasmus+ project there are 6 countries, Turkey-the coordinator, Spain, Italy, Poland, Bulgaria and Romania.According to surveys we conducted at our schools our children have health problems, as obesity (30%), underweight (15%), bad eating habits (65%), tooth decay (70%), diabetes (3%), spend too much free time in front of computer and TV (95 %) lack of knowledge about protecting environment, lack of physical activity, emotional problems, no knowledge about First Aid. Their parents are not able to help them, as some of them are not well educated and overworked. The main help are teachers, but they must be professionally trained and appropriately prepared to it.So the aim of our project "Healthy Life is Happy Life "is to build potencial of schools in areas of healthy lifestyle and protecting environment, create a way of balanced students' emotional and intellectual development.

Implementation of the objectives and activities will decrease the number of obesity, diabetes,toothdecay and allergies among children.
