Our project is very timely as today's awareness of healthy lifestyle education is becoming more and more important. During our day-to-day work, there is an increasing number of overweight children, who are more and more often struggling with different food allergies. Our habits have changed, we are sitting a lot watching the digitized world, that’s why the healthy lifestyle education is important from the adults – teachers and parents. In response to the present challenge of the project, building on our experiences we create a Health Education model program together with our two partners. Co-operative thinking and work border from here and beyond. We take advantage of the opportunities offered by IKT tools, not just teachers, but children between the ages of 3 and 7 can also communicate online. Main areas: a) mental health; b) healthy nutrition; c) daily practice. This value system is developed and strengthen positively through the children in the families, beautifying our environment. Our goal is to love sport, to raise work, to increase drinking water consumption, to sensitize parents, to take advantage of environmental conditions. Results: The institutions set up a Health Promotion Model Program, which is a distributable and exchangeable good practice – and also a collection of electronic recipe collection and a collection of sensational toys are created, that can be downloaded from the websites. The effect of the project is that the views of teachers and parents change, they become more conscious. By adopting an age-appropriate program for young children, they offer appropriate treatment and occasional skills that will be helpful in their later studies, and will be able to make good choices for their health. The environment and image of the institutions show a positive change, their recognition is growing. The world view of educators is expanding and their competences (also the language) grow. Throughout the program it’s a must to work closely with families. The teachers learn new methods, what they can build into their work. New fruitful partnerships are emerging, the educational bodies are participating with pleasure in international projects.
Building on our experience in the project, together with our partners we have created a Health Education Model Program that is professionally grounded, disseminable, and well-suited for use in all days of preschool life. It is suitable to replace the mandatory health preservation program of institutions.The program is a response to the challenges of the present, as nowadays it is no longer natural for children to have good air, enough exercise, and adequate food intake.Our habits have changed, we sit a lot looking at the digital world, so conscious health education on the part of adults (both teachers and parents) is important. We have developed and positively strengthened this value system through children in families as well. We mostly achieved our goals, such as loving sports, educating to work, increasing the consumption of drinking water, sensitizing parents, and taking advantage of environmental conditions. Each institution has done a successful job in its own fields: the number of participants in family days has increased and we are usually better able to organize institutional campaigns and events year after year. Our results: the institutions created a Health Promotion Model program, which can be disseminated as a good practice, 1 printed recipe collection with descriptions of jointly prepared fruit and vegetable salads, 1 electronic sensitive toy collection. The impact of the project, that the attitudes of educators and parents have changed, has become more conscious. Through the program, young children have received development appropriate to their age, and we hope, they become more aware in the areas of preserving the natural environment as well as a healthy lifestyle. It is natural for them to consume vegetables and fruits, but the most striking is the popularity of drinking water. We have sown the germs, which will allow them to make good decisions for their health. The environment and image of the institutions have changed positively. The worldviews of the teachers expanded and their competencies (including language) developed. We worked closely with families throughout the program. Teachers have mastered new methods that they incorporate into their work. New, fruitful partnerships are formed, educational institutions are happy to participate in international projects.
