The primary focus of the project titled „EAT BEST–MOVE MOST–DO BEST” is to promote a healthy lifestyle and more physical activities among children in order to help reduce barriers to learning. The objectives of the project are meeting the priorities mentioned in Europe 2020 strategy and also strategic aims of Education and Courses 2020, particulary developing teacher trainings in the partner countries, transfering and implementing innovative practices and promoting cooperation between school and local authorities. This joint European project has been designed to foster more rational, decisive and conscious pupils to promote a healthy- school concept, to inform and empower families and to improve cross-cultural partnerships in this field. By conducting project activities, we aim to have more pupils firstly, learn about healthy eating and physical activity in school which will give them knowledge and skills to make good health decisions now and in the future, secondly, eating healthy and staying active in school which will help them feel better, do better in sports, concentrate and get better grades and test scores.6 partners will be involved in this project with approximately 2000 pupils and about 200 teachers and educators with different experience, knowledge, beliefs, but common educational ideals.Our project main target groups are pupils and teachers together with indirect beneficiaries of the project activities (parents, local officials, teachers from other schools, NGO's as local partners). All schools are public institutions, some of them have long lasting traditions, while others are brand new. We all are very enthusiastic to cooperate in this new Erasmus+ project, aware of the risk of a poor diet and inactivity and want to change our pupils’eating habits to be healthier European citizens, are open minded to share the learning experience. We are aware both intangible and tangible results will be reached. We have used eTwinning and Erasmus+ platforms to plan our project–our Turkish partner has created the project in the eTwinning platform at the same time we have started developing this project. We are planning to use all available tools (eTwinning live, Twinspace, Projects, School education Gateway, etc.)during implementation this project as well in follow up and dissemination activities. Combined use of eTwinning and Erasmus+ will provide a learning framework of free and funded teacher professional development of our project and support international learning through integration of national curriculum programmes of study. Our intention is to continue our collaboration two years after the completion of the project through eTwinning projects. We will prepare a dissemination plan which clearly states responsibilities, the dissemination activities, target groups, resources, deadline, indicators of successful dissemination both during and after the project.A dissemination team will be formed in each partner organization according to the dissemination plan. This team will carry out dissemination activities following the work schedule in the dissemination plan. During the partnership, results are disseminated using Google Drive for exchanging ideas/bestpractices/project results among partners. We store there the outputs, documents presented in the trainings and make a resource bank, each partner being authorized to view/edit. Best practices and outcomes will be disseminated on each school’s website, social media and Twinspace.Inside the organization, we intend to disseminate the project results to school community. Outside the organization, the dissemination plan will consider spreading the positive effects of the project to all teachers, experts, leaders and parents of the other schools, local authorities and local NGOs. Each partner will keep regular contact with their own Education Directory, Municipality and outside experts. All will play important roles to disseminate the project's results throughout their countries. Each partner will plan to organize a big 'Closing Event' after the project process has finished. The aim of this Dissemination Event will be both to share the project results and to promote setting the healthy eating habits and physical activity at early ages. Our families will have a good relationship with school and their children.They will realize the importance of the physical activities for their children.The families, especially the working mothers and fathers, will realize the importance of preparing healthy meals for their children. The teachers will conduct the activities in cooperation with the parents so their relationship will get stronger. The project will impact on teachers and students (they will be more open to innovations, new changes, eager to work in the international groups and change their lifestyles), students' parents, local educational government, local primary and secondary schools,regional, national and European health and environmental organisations.
