Health and wellbeing are two things that make everyone happy. As teachers, we have a moral responsibility to make students aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle, of making sport and of avoiding addictions even from childhood. It is easier to prevent than to heal illnesses like obesity or diabetes. In EU 1 adult out of 3 is overweight, and today’s lifestyle, which means spending too much time in front of screens, does not help. We have also observed that many pupils practice sport at their early age, but they usually slow down or completely abandon it when in critical ages 13- 18. 

Our role is to encourage them to continue to have an active lifestyle even when they grow up.We see every day how our children eat junk-food instead of healthy pack prepared at home, how they choose not to make sport, how they often become victims of bullying for being fat.

Nowadays, students struggle with a lot of problems caused by social-economical issues of their families, by being considered an immigrant or ethnic minority, by the lack of education received from the family that spend a lot of time at work, or working abroad, or is breaking up. In many cases, these problems coud lead to dropping out of school.

The novelty of this project is that it is a perfect way to attract the students to participate in extracurricular activities, in order to provide them a healthy education and involve them in sport activities. With the current project that we want to implement, we intend to share the same values with the students from many places in Europe, to help integrate well in the society the students that need social inclusion, but also to cooperate with teachers from other countries with the same common goal: awareness of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

Another aim of this project is also involving the students in spreading the informations about healthy lifestyle through presentations using ICT skills, through creativity using drama. By meeting other children from Europe they will have the possibility to develop their communication skills in a foreign language. They will have the opportunity to find out more about other cultures, other educational systems and feel that they are European citizens.
