'Give 5: A Toolbox for Healthy Living – the whole school program' is a two-year, intercultural project. It is a strategic partnership of Poland, Romania, Spain, Italy, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Portugal, Lithuania and Turkey. The idea of the project came from the necessity of social inclusion and introduction of the whole school healthy living program in the partner schools. We also intend to improve our students’ education by equipping them with basic skills and key competences as well as strengthen the qualifications of our teachers.
Our strategic partnership aims to exchange experiences and know-how on school healthy programs between different European schools to produce an innovative 'Give 5 - Healthy Living Toolbox – the whole school program'. As a result, we will improve our schools’ actions to care for the students’ health. We will encourage the participation of students who belong to minorities as well as socially disadvantaged and students with special educational needs.
The project will follow two main directions:
- activities for students that aim to support social inclusion, healthy lifestyle, basic skills and key competences at the partner schools and during blended mobilities of students
- exchange of good practices among teachers
The project is divided into five stages:
1.Be well: wellbeing – social skills, relationships, body language, coping with stress, healthy learning
2.Be eco: eco-friendly lifestyle: taking care for environment, school gardens
3.Be safe: safety in everyday life safety on roads, first aid, hygiene
4. Be nourished: the importance of breakfast, healthy, traditional recipes, drinking water
5.Be fit: sport: everyday gymnastics, dancing, outdoor games
We want to encourage students' communication during the project by adding extra topic: be comunicative and encourage them to virtual communication.
The toolbox, which is a tangible product of the project, will be divided into 5 parts. Each part will present activities in details (subject, target group, objectives, materials needed, timing, the activities performed by the students, the activities undertaken by teachers, final products, methods of formative assessment, possible variants of organization of activity, ways of evaluation).
