Physical Education (PE) problems have become one of priorities in Europe and one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century. This trend in children is alarming, as it has grown steadily and is a warning to future generations. Lack of PE for children is strongly associated with several risk factors such as cardiovascular disease, orthopaedic problems, mental disorders related to poor school performance and lack of confidence. This situation leads to many people not wanting to participate actively in the society around them. COVID-19 has dramatically turned this problem into a crisis. Our research found that students active in sport aged 14- and 16-year-olds who exercised regularly are less likely to develop depression. The relationship between movement and brain health is so clear that the WHO recommends an hour a day of moderate exercise for students in primary and secondary scholars. Yet, across our schools and associations the PE is far away from the WHO suggestions. However, across our regions PE teachers are not familiar with teaching PE online which is the gap that must be filled. This project aims to pilot an initiative that fosters self-care and healthy mindset in digital era. This project will equip secondary school teachers with competences through online courses from one side, and will initiate peer-education between students from the other side. Designed as cross-sectoral strategic partnership this project will bring together representatives from the formal education(schools), representatives from the non-formal education (training centers) and representatives from the digital business world(IT company) to deliver innovative digital learning pathway in the field of School education. The identification of this crisis in most European countries, where young people don’t do sports has determined to initiate this project that aims to promote online among young people the importance of carrying out a healthy lifestyle and, at the same time, look for means that are attractive to them like videos and apps to promote this message. The overall objective of this project will be reached trough the specific objectives of this project: -To increase the level of competences of school teachers in the field of mental health; -To pilot online courses that will use meditation and sports as methodology for well-being; -To direct and stimulate peer-learning and teaching process among students based on the methodology of well-being; -To enhance mental-health education and enable students to become more familiar with the mind-body connection; -To promote healthy eating and exercise through music and dance; STRUCTURE AND OBJECTIVES Our project is focused on youth between 12 and 17 years old who are motivated to live healthy. Through project participants will gain more health, informal education, knowledge about different cultures and knowledge about different (healthier) active way of life. With the help of selected teachers we will show our youth the active way of life that can be performed during quarantine. Important goal of the project is also for participants to gain experiences, knowledge and competences, which they will be able to transfer in their schools and local life. Our main expected impact is to reach youth at a higher level of interest in healthier way of life and initiation of sport in their daily routine. Another important aim of our project is to provide an intercultural learning experience for young participants by sharing moments of inclusion and carrying out activities that follow non-formal education methods. The topics to discuss are: environmental sustainability, respect for nature, inclusive sport and healthy lifestyle. During the project, activities will promote intercultural inclusion and learning, such as workshops, role plays, online theater and trust-building. In addition, through the aforementioned activities, participants will acquire new knowledge about environmental sustainability and carry out sports activities area, through which will be promoted a healthy lifestyle and teamwork. The activities will be facilitated by staff, in charge of non-formal education activities on intercultural learning. The project aims at addressing the challenges identified above by means of providing secondary school students and teachers in possession of self-PE motivation with the attitudes and skills needed. Project will deliver on this aim through the following: 2- Production of a manual for secondary school teachers integrating methodologies of self-learning supporting them in giving shape to and strengthening their profiles on teaching PE online. 3-Training Toolkit for Trainers: The Toolkit will integrate guidelines and methods of NFE tailored to the needs of teachers willing to implement educational programmes to empower their teaching profile. 4- E-learning modules and Web Platform. Partners will produce a specific Web Platform with integrated modules.
L'identification de cette crise dans la plupart des pays européens, où les jeunes ne font pas de sport, a déterminé l'initiation de ce projet qui vise à promouvoir en ligne auprès des jeunes l'importance de mener une vie saine et, en même temps, rechercher des moyens qui les attirent comme des vidéos et des applications pour promouvoir ce message. L'objectif global de ce projet a été atteint à travers les objectifs spécifiques de ce projet : - Accroître le niveau de compétences des enseignants dans le domaine de la santé mentale ; -Piloter des cours en ligne qui utiliseront la méditation et le sport comme méthodologie de bien-être ; - Diriger et stimuler le processus d'apprentissage et d'enseignement par les pairs parmi les élèves sur la base de la méthodologie du bien-être ; -Améliorer l'éducation en santé mentale et permettre aux étudiants de se familiariser avec le lien corps-esprit ;
Les questions d'éducation physique (EP) sont devenues l'une des priorités en Europe et l'un des problèmes de santé publique les plus graves du 21e siècle. Cette tendance chez les enfants notamment est alarmante, car elle n'a cessée de croître et constitue un avertissement pour les générations futures. Le manque d'EP pour les enfants est fortement associée à plusieurs facteurs de risque tels que les maladies cardiovasculaires, les problèmes orthopédiques, les troubles mentaux liés à de mauvais résultats scolaires et le manque de confiance. Cette situation conduit de nombreuses personnes à ne pas vouloir s'intégrer et participer activement à la société qui les entoure. La COVID-19 a radicalement transformée ce problème en crise. Notre recherche a révélée que les élèves âgés de 14 à 16 ans qui faisaient de l'exercice régulièrement étaient moins susceptibles de développer une dépression. La relation entre l'activité sportive et la santé du cerveau est si claire que l'OMS recommande une heure par jour d'exercice modéré pour les élèves du primaire et du secondaire. Pourtant, à travers nos écoles et nos associations, l'éducation physique est loin des suggestions de l'OMS. De plus, dans nos régions, les enseignants d'éducation physique ne sont pas familiers de l'enseignement de l'éducation physique en ligne, ce qui est une lacune à combler. Ce projet vise à piloter une initiative qui favorise le bien-être physique et d'esprit à l'ère du numérique. Ce projet a doté les enseignants du secondaire de compétences grâce à des cours en ligne d'un côté, et a initié l'éducation par les pairs entre les élèves de l'autre côté. Conçu comme un partenariat stratégique intersectoriel, ce projet a réuni des représentants de l'éducation formelle (écoles), des représentants de l'éducation non formelle (centres de formation) et des représentants du monde numérique (société informatique) pour offrir un parcours d'apprentissage numérique innovant dans le domaine de l'enseignement scolaire.
