RATIONALE

The project aims at being a partnership between schools which have the same concern: educating teenagers to grow old in an active way. It is difficult to do it in a world which offers them more and more places where to eat “fast and tasty” food and more and more advanced gadgets which seem more interesting then going outside and do some physical activities. More and more teenagers are spending their time nowadays playing computer games or communicating with people sometimes they do not know, assuming false identities and living in virtual worlds. ​

​

That is why it is teachers’ duty to guide them and talk them into involving themselves in activities meant to provide them with and open ways to healthy and “unvirtual” active lifestyles. The students in partner schools will learn how to eat healthy and how to spend their free time in a healthy, active and funny way. We consider it is teachers’ duty to organize different events to in order to make students more aware of the great importance that the early healthy lifestyle shall have on their old age and more conscious that living their youth years in a healthy way will make them live a happy careless old age.

​

More and more students are growing unsociable and this project will be a good way of teaching them how to socialize and feel good doing it. They will learn what real success is when winning a real competition or when making real friends. They will learn about the benefits of living their lives outside their houses, making real friends, spending time together, laughing out loud. They will finally learn how to live their life. Sports will teach them a lot about competitiveness, team spirit, ambition, fair play, respect for the others, responsibility, quick thinking. In a word, this project will help them develop healthy values for healthy future adults.
