Our collaborative project consists of 6 Primary schools. They are from Italy, Finland, Great Britain, Poland, Cyprus and Germany. Our partners include experienced international collaborators and first timers! Together we have many strengths and we are keen to learn from one another. Our partnership proposal is to promote and explore sports and a healthy lifestyle, including diet, in a variety of European schools and cultures. This will be achieved by continuous, concurrent activities held in our schools and communities initially over a two year period. During this project information about sports and healthy living within each country will be researched, tried out, exchanged and evaluated. All of our activities will be as inclusive as possible and we will seek co-operation from teachers, pupils, their families and our local communities. A wide variety of exciting and motivating activities will take place which will facilitate the cross fertilisation of ideas and outcomes. The children and staff from the partnership schools will produce fact-files, a logo, an anthem, artwork, a sporty Christmas calendar, videos, PowerPoint presentations, e-mails, a blog, web pages including eTwinning etc, which will be regularly exchanged and shared. Our project will involve the joint making of; two separate sports’ competitions, learning and teaching workshops, video conferences, interdisciplinary project days, class trips and presentations covering European traditional/heritage sports and games. As a legacy of the project, and to celebrate our achievements, we will create a collaborative, collective permanent artwork/installation in each school. It will illustrate our common understanding of healthy living (including playing sports) and it will remind us, daily, of our team efforts. The pupils in each school will learn about traditional/heritage sports games from their families and the wider community. They will try them out and create new games too. The pupils will participate in a variety of different sports competitions. These events will become a regular feature of their school's calendar. Through these activities we aim to develop a deeper and more meaningful cultural understanding and appreciation of similarities and differences within Europe. Looking at the diverse food, the attitudes to health, sports, the environment and self-awareness within each country, we aim to develop knowledge,understanding and respect of cultural diversity. Our project will promote the desire amongst learners to master modern foreign languages, ICT skills and basic life skills, such as reading skills, thus enabling our children to develop into active European citizens. In our project meetings hosted by Italy, Finland, Great Britain and Cyprus we will learn about different countries and their school systems. We also do different things, introduce places and give experiences that will support healthy life style and well being. We will get to know a local food traditions. In our meetings we can exchange ideas and plan and evaluate our activities. The project's impact will further deepen through learning activities and joint staff trainings. The learning activities allow Polish and German pupils in particular to have first hand, unforgettable experiences during the planned workshops in Germany and Poland. These pupils will visit sport facilities, build models for a future sports facility, play sports, take part in PE lessons and create two new games together. They will also visit 'the way of fame' for Olympic medal winners in Cottbus, take part in sports lessons, cook together , create new healthy recipes and try them out. They will take part in a funny Olympics, dance and write a diary about the activities. Another project highlight will be the teaching activity events where all teachers of our partnership meet face to face and work together, do workshops with pupils in the host schools and share and learn pedagogical methods from one another. When not working face to face we will communicate via video conference. Additionally our regularly updated and dynamic blog will ensure all pupils from all partner schools have equal ownership of and participation in the project. We expect this project to be challenging yet hugely rewarding for all. Lifestyles will be improved and cherished. Our European identities will be enhanced and we will undoubtedly form lifelong friendships and develop lifelong skills. Throughout the two years of the project pupils, teachers and parents will regularly evaluate and report results of our working.
