In the face of many civilizational diseases resulting from a sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise, improper diet and negative wellbeing, promoting a healthy lifestyle, healthy eating and sport, as well as increasing youth awareness of the role of nutrition and physical activity seem to be particularly important in the prevention of obesity and other diseases. The aim of the project is to raise awareness of the school society in the field of healthy lifestyle and diseases resulting from unhealthy routines, with particular emphasis on healthy eating and increasing physical activity, as well as establishing social and cultural dialogue both at the local and European level. The assumption of the project is to change eating habits and increase physical activity by about 20% (applies to students and teachers). During the project, students will take part in international travels to partner countries, where they will carry out project tasks: World Health Day celebrations, planning healthy menu, wellbeing workshops, visiting local food producers, designing the logo, participation in competitions, sport meetings, lectures and workshops promoting healthy lifestyle. Part of the project tasks will be carried out at school. Among these tasks will be conducting surveys examining eating habits, preparing and distributing posters and leaflets promoting healthy lifestyle, organizing meetings and workshops on elimination of bad habits and supporting good eating habits. All the students (aged 6-15) and teachers will take part in the project. PE teachers will be responsible for fitness activities, Science teachers for healthy nutrition and trained teachers for wellbeing workshops. Other teachers will carry out project activities during their lessons, class trips and events, competitions, exhibitions, performances. English teachers will introduce vocabulary related to the subject of the project during lessons and they will be helpful in translating the developed products into English. The project will include six meetings, one of them will be only for teachers. They will regard to the organization of the project, detailed discussions on the activities, evaluation and writing the final report. During the mobilities, the students, in addition to the activities related to health-related topics, will be able to learn about the culture, architecture and customs of partner countries during various activities planned for them. Visits in partner schools will also develop the group work skills, the usage of ICT and motivation to learn languages. During the project implementation, students will acquire a range of skills useful at subsequent educational stages, such as preparing surveys, statistical analysis, creation of multimedia presentations and instructional videos related to the subject of the project. The developed results will be: - improving the physical fitness of students and teachers through participation in regular sports events, extracurricular activities, meetings with athletes - preparation of: traditional games, an international cookbook (in paper and video form), an introductory mindfulness and yoga booklet, the project’s logo and mascot, a common board game "Healthy Lifestyle Expedition", the "Healthy food" questionnaire for students, parents and teachers, - developing healthy eating habits through meetings with a dietician, doctors of various specialties, extra-curricular activities, culinary workshops - creation of the project website and publishing project’s effects on TwinSpace - topical noticeboards in classrooms regarding healthy food products - higher cultural awareness - brochure about the country of mobility - improving the quality of the institution's work by adapting examples of good practice observed during the visits in partner schools, increasing students' competences and strengthening teachers' professional competences. After completion of the project, the above-mentioned activities and results will be continued. This will allow to maintain physical activity and a healthy lifestyle at a high level. At the end of each school year, a survey will be carried out assessing whether the project objectives are in line with the assumptions and the established results will allow the verification of the activities. Knowledge of English and ICT will also allow to use more online resources that will be useful to develop interests and self-improvement. Formed international friendships, of both students and teachers, can be continued after the end of the project. In addition, the impact of the project may be visible at the national, European and even international level by posting the final products (cookbook, wellbeing booklet, a set of games and activities, calendar, board game "Healthy Lifestyle Expedition", lesson plans) on the Erasmus+ platform. Due to the lack of restrictions on access to these publications, each recipient will be able to use them or just get inspiration and work out own solutions.
