Naturally in Shape

The name of the project is Naturally in Shape. There are four countries and five schools involved; Cyprus, the United Kingdom, Germany and Finland. We have two schools from Finland: Saarijärvi = Fin 1 and Salo= Fin 2. The goal of the project is a holistic well-being of the students as well physical and psychological. Also we aim at encouraging the young to develop a more positive attitude towards other people, school and life in general. Thirdly our crucial goal is to contribute the young in their efforts to gain better physical condition, to adopt healthy diet and to achieve better mental balance and to raise their selfesteem. We believe that in addition to personal benefits the students will learn to respect others and to live in harmony with each other and to respect nature and nature conservation. The school subjects involved are home economics, biology, physical education, health education, geology, handicraft, music, art, languages and IT. www.naturallyinshape.eu The project has a website; every school is in charge to update the pages of the school. According to our plans we have general themes that are divided to detailed activities: getting to know each others, wondering in nature, working as a group, national traditional games, and healthy food. In each meeting the partners present the progress they have had in the themes. Thus we believe the students to find out that though we might have some cultural differences we altogether share a basic European cultural background. Diverse national customs and traditions are a great richness and we can learn a lot from each others. The final products of the project are the website, cooking book, a dvd and reflections of the students and the teachers on the website. www.naturallyinshape.euWe collected feedback from the students twice during the two years and a third time at the end of the second year. According to these questionaries the students' experiences were highly positive and the activities were a success.
