This association for the exchange of good practices between schools in Spain, Portugal and Italy aims to consolidate an international cooperation network with the aim of developing, transferring and implementing initiatives in the four schools during the 2020-2021 academic school year related to school health and healthy lifestyles. The project arises from the need to provide tools to students related to health and well-being to deal individually and collectively with the health crisis caused by COVID-19. The entire educational community will participate in the project: 1600 students between 3 and 16 years old (25% belonging to disadvantaged environments and/or special educational needs), teachers, families, volunteers and local institutions. The objectives of the project are: O.1. To Promote students physical activity. O.2. To Promote healthy eating habits. O.3 To Promote mental health, emotional intelligence and well-being. O.4 To Promote body care, hygiene and prevent the appearance of diseases. O.5. To Promote health environment. Short, medium and long term, the expected results are: R.1. Improvement of the physical condition of the students by increasing the intensity and frequency of physical exercise. R.2. Decreased rate of childhood overweight and hormonal imbalances among child population. R.3. Improvement of personal well-being through the development of emotional and interpersonal skills. Improve school coexistence. R.4. Decrease of diseases by increasing personal hygiene habits and disease prevention. R.5. Protection of the environment through increased care and protection of the environment. In the long term, we hope to contribute to developing the key competences in students, improve the quality of education, compensate for the inequalities of the most disadvantaged groups, and reduce early school dropout. To achieve this objective we propose: -To Strengthen the teaching profile of approximately 100 teachers through training courses locally and online. -To Carry out 3 student exchange activities (84 students from 11 to 14 years old) where they will work together in international contexts on activities related to health and well-being using innovative methodologies. -To Strengthen family participation and collaboration with local institutions. The project includes a wide range of preparation, development, evaluation and dissemination activities aimed at students, teachers, managers, educational community (family and volunteers) and including local educational authorities. We will use the eTwinning platform to create an eTwinning project related to this Erasmus + project, carry out training activities and virtual activities for both students and teachers. Tasks and responsibilities for each partner have been distributed in a balanced way, respecting partners strengths and competences. Each partner has assigned tasks in order to implement the management, training, monitoring, financial, evaluation and impact, dissemination and sustainability plans of the project. The cooperation and communication between the partners will be carried out using different tools such Webex platform for videoconferences and shared drive to send documentation and cooperative online work. We will evaluate the project in its different phases using surveys, self-analyzes of teaching practices, observation scales, checklists and an evaluation matrix with quantitative and qualitative indicators. The results of the project will be shared at local, regional, national and international levels with the objective of reaching as many people as possible. The usual dissemination channels will be the school websites, social networks, Town Halls websites, local press, Erasmus + Results Platform and eTwinning platform. To guarantee the sustainability of the project, all schools must incorporate the project's objectives in relation to the promotion of the comprehensive health of students in the official documents (educational project, different specific plans, etc.). This documentation must be approved by consensus both by the faculty and by the school council. In the long term we hope to strengthen international cooperation networks to work together with the purpose that our students develop a healthy lifestyle that remain over time promoting social well-being and a life higher quality, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and specifically SDG 3 dedicated to Health and Well-being.

R.2 Improvement of eating habits and awareness of the need to use local products and kilometer 0 to protect the environment. R.3. Improvement of personal well-being through the development of emotional and interpersonal skills. R.4. Strengthen the teaching profile of approximately 80 teachers through training courses locally and online. R.5. Raise awareness in the educational community of the importance of physical exercise, emotional management and nutrition for health and well-being. As a result of the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 4 participating schools have had an unequal percentage of face-to-face teaching, with intermittently confined classes and non-face-to-face teaching the first two quarters of the course, in the case of Portugal . Therefore, the activities have been carried out in different formats. The project has included a wide range of preparation, development, evaluation and dissemination activities aimed at students, teachers, managers, educational community (family and volunteers) and including local and regional educational authorities. We have used the eTwinning platform as the website of our project and to carry out training actions and virtual activities for both students and teachers. Each partner has carried out activities related to the three objectives of the project and to the Sustainable Development Goal SDG 3 dedicated to Health and Well-being and jointly they have carried out 3 virtual mobilities of 5 days each, with synchronous activities and asynchronous. Tasks and responsibilities for each partner was distributed in a balanced way, respecting partners strengths and competences. The cooperation and communication between the partners has been carried out using different tools such as the Zoom platform for videoconferences, a shared drive to send documentation and Microsoft teams for online cooperative work. The projecthas been evaluated in its different phases using surveys, self-analyzes of teaching practices, observation scales, checklists and an evaluation matrix with quantitative and qualitative indicators. The results of the project have been shared through Twinspace, the centers' social networks (facebook and telegram), websites and online newspapers. We have participated in lectures for teachers where we have also been able to disseminate the project among teachers at the community level.To guarantee the long-term sustainability of the project, all the centers have incorporated the project objectives in relation to the promotion of the integral health of the students in the various documents of the center (educational project, different specific plans, etc.), the work started in this project year, it will continue in future school years due, on the one hand, due to the benefits that have been observed and, on the other, due to the situation of the pandemic that has forced in some way and has made more evident the need that schools and high schools address these issues. In the long term, we hope we have contributed to to strengthen international cooperation networks to work together with the purpose that our students develop healthy lifestyle habits promoting social well-being and a higher quality of life, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
