About the project!


Give 5: A Toolbox for Healthy Living – the whole school programme is a two- year 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 in the partner schools. We also intend to improve our students’ education by equipping them with basic skills and competences as well as strengthen the qualifications of our teachers.
Our project aims to exchange experience and know-how on school healthy programs between different European schools to produce an innovative “Give 5 - Healthy Living Toolbox – the whole school program”. It will allow to transfer the best practices to partner schools and implement innovative practices – using the experience of other European teachers to form a school program. It will improve schools’ actions to care for the students’ health including those disadvantaged. 


AIMS

The project has three main objectives. The Toolbox of methods for creating the class or school healthy programmes, practical activities for the students to give them knowledge and skills to live healthily and the European dimension. The Toolbox for Healthy Living – the whole school programme is a methodological guide in which will be described non-formal activities that contribute to the development of a healthy lifestyle.
The project will follow three main directions:
• activities for students at the partner schools that will aim to support early childhood education and care 
• activities during the meetings - short-term exchanges of students 
• exchange of good practices among teachers and later usage, observation, evaluation.

WORK PROCESS

Give 5: A Toolbox for Healthy Living – the whole school programme is also two- year project under Erasmus+ KA2, with 4 transnational project meetings and 4 Blended mobility of pupils and learners combining short-term physical mobility with virtual mobility and activities in Twinspace.
During the project meetings we will communicate face to face setting tasks for the following period, evaluating the previous activities, presenting results and materials and discussing the problems we have met and the solutions.
. It is also necessary to use the postal services to send official documents and some final products.
The schools' web sites will provide a lot of information on project activities, reports and presentations of different living environments. 
The students will communicate via mail on using the e-Twinning platform concerning healthy lifestyles as well as daily life in different countries thus promoting the European dimension.

EXPECTED RESULTS

The main result of the project will be the Toolbox. The toolbox will include description of the methods/activities regarding the five areas, how the teachers can apply them, examples of activities, expected results, what basic skills (literacy, numeracy, science, and technology) and key competences they develop. It will give the schools and teachers involved in the project and future users the possibility to make their own teaching more efficient, varied, interesting and innovative. The toolbox will be presented to teachers and other members of school and local government. We will also publish the Toolbox and make it available to other schools and teachers across Europe for open and flexible learning and potential long term use. The whole idea of a network of schools to solve a common problem through peer teaching can be useful for other schools or used in other fields of education.
