As 4 partners we intended to commit to a project dealing with healthy lifestyle and environmental protection because we wanted to improve more knowledge and consciousness about healthy nutrition and environment to achieve "Health policy of Europe 2020" and "EU' 2030 goals with environment"for smart and inclusive growth in EU. We aimed to get professional development of all teachers and pupils in ICT (digital and language skills) by means of project based activites and tackle with early school leaving. We tried to increase degrees from %50 to %80 for healthy nutrition and from %60 to %80 for Environmental Volunteer Work. We also wanted to increase EU cooperation, the quality of education on international level and to promote approximately 8 teachers in partner schools to carry out EU projects on E-twinning platforms. So we started to a new Etwinning project called " Equality and Respect and we still continue the project. We selected pupils whose school success average under 60 points to tackle with early school leaving by help of project activities.And these pupils wanted to take part in new E- twinning project too. We paid attention to personal and interpersonal development of all : socialization, collaboration and teamwork
1) Our environment is suffering due to reckless human activities (deforestration, pollution) and it is urgently stated in "EU' 2030 goals for environment. 2) In these points 4 partners intended to commit to a project dealing with healthy lifestyle and environmental protection because similar negative lifestyles and similar recless human activities were observed among our pupils.This project was the result of "Healthy life and Environment Questionnary" that 4 project partners applied to measure the level of healty living of their pupils (8-15 aged) According to questionnary results, almost % 50 of them did not eat healthy- organic food but mostly junk food and almost % 60 of them did not want to take part in Environmental Volunteer Work. 3) Our pupils needed not only to learn school subjects but also to had understanding of how their lifestyle would influence their future world.Our pupils were in lack of knowledge about how important to protect environment and to have ecological production of food and drink. 4) The rate of early school leaving decreased from 13.4% in 2011 to 10.2% in 2019 across Europe but there was much work to be done to reduce this rate in next years. For all these reasons we applied for this project.
