There is a present fitness boom in Central Europe. Our students have the age, in which it is most important for them to be in a good physical shape. Therefore they go to local fitness gyms. Here they can find different types of fitness equipment to improve their strength or endurance. But it is not as easy as it seems: In most cases the pupils doesn't have any experience with professional fitness training for health, so they are completely overwhelmed with the large selection of fitness equipment. So we want to offer training workshops for interested pupils. On the other hand we want pupils to find their personal way in specialised sport clubs. For this our pupils should getting to know different types of sport. In our opinion water sports would be a good choice because of their attractivness and their presence in our location. To initiate the project we will start with a teachers mobility in Germany. In summary there are 15 pupils of the Aldegrever high school in Soest and 15 pupils of the Kepler high school in Graz who take part on the projects short-term mobility. There will be also a long-term mobility with two pupils of each school. There are some key competences, which will be learned be the pupils: (1.) Natural sciences: through the treatment of sport biological topics. (2.) IT: through the use of modern technologies, like creating videos, the use of tablets, etc. (3.) Health an wellbeing: usefull topics for the own health will be part of the project. There will be some results which will be available also after the end of this project: project-website, videos, presentations and priceless impressions of the involved people.
At the beginning of that project there has been a great fitness boom in Central Europe which affected also the school-life. Our students had the age, in which it is generally most important for them being in a good physical shape. Therefore, they went to local fitness gyms. Here they could find different types of fitness equipment to improve their strength or endurance status. But it wasn’t as easy as it seemed: In most cases the pupils didn’t have any experiences with professional fitness training for health, so they were completely overwhelmed with the large selection of fitness equipment. So we wanted to offer training workshops for interested pupils. On the other hand we wanted pupils to find their personal way in specialised sport clubs. For this reason, our pupils should have got to know different types of sport. In our opinion water sports would have been a good choice because of its attractiveness and its presence in our location. To initiate the project we started with a mobility in Graz. In summary there were 15 pupils of the Aldegrever high school in Soest and 15 pupils of the Kepler high school in Graz who took part on the projects short-term mobility. After the mobility in Graz, we started the next mobility in Soest. There should have been also a long-term mobility with two pupils of each school, which wasn’t possible due to the pandemic. There were some key competences, which have been learned by the pupils: (1.) Natural sciences: through the treatment of sport biological topics. (2.) IT: through the use of modern technologies, like creating videos, the use of tablets, etc. (3.) Health and wellbeing: useful topics for the own health were be part of the project.
