The project is aimed at enhancing a positive attitude to the social, moral and psychological development of students by improving their lifestyle with regard to healthy eating and active living. Teams of Italian-Polish students will carry out surveys and the resulting materials will be posted on the project website in order to lead an open discussion concerning various topics connected with promoting a healthy and active lifestyle (e.g. ancient idea of Olympics and drugs in modern sports; questionnaire about fitness and dietary habits of young people; anorexia and bulimia in connection with the world of fashion and pop music celebrities). Students and staff will have the opportunity to practice a wide range of sport and leisure activities focusing on the culture of active participation, in each school and also in international teams during the class exchanges.
We want to encourage our students to use the Internet as a supportive tool for learning. One of the main methods of working on the project are WebQuests. This innovative, student-centered and inquiry-based method challenges students to explore the web for information. WebQuests include the links that are appropriate for students to research as well as suggestions for further research. The first WebQuest will be created by teachers but we want to teach the students how to create their own WebQuest and we expect our students will share the knowledge they have gained and the information about their town and region using WebQuests and/or PowerPoint presentations
We will also create a website with a special forum space for students and teachers to discuss the main topic of the project and to exchange information, opinions, good practice. The Skype peer-to-peer network will be also used
Contacts with the students from the other country, discussing interesting topics chosen by students, research on their town and region, creating WebQuests and PowerPoint presentations to show their partners the culture of their country, receiving information and knowledge of the same kind from them, visiting their school and town, staying in their families for several days etc. will promote tolerance and mutual understanding. Students will also improve their English communication skills and motivation to communicate in a foreign language for real purposes.
