When one thinks of the early school leaving problem, he automaticaly associate it with learning difficulties. This project has for a goal to go beyond this academic thinking and pay attention to one of the important couse of quitting education too early- unhealthy lifestyle. Unfortunately we do not often realise that eating disorders or lack of physical activities may lead to depression, low self-esteem and other psychological problems that may lead to learning difficulties and what follows early school leaving. This project aims at the groups of teenagers being potentially in danger of early school leaving, coming from the poor social background, where they can not really count on anyone helping them except for school.. It will allow students to have a closer look and evaluate their way of life and adapt proper changes that may influence their wellbeing and so their school results. The project will not only have an influence on the participants but also on their families, which by taking part in some activities and being a part of life of our participants will be affected by the changes. Certain tasks of the project like a programme of prevention eating disorders or all the outcomes in the form of videos or multimeadia presentations will not only be used after the project as a basis to introduce the problem to the students in all our partner schools during the biology / science classes - as it is a part of curriculum, but also will be introduced to the students from the primary schools always visiting the junior high schools before their subsription. All the results will be aslo made available for all the schools in each participating country in the local, regional and national level.
