HEY ~ Healthy European Youth ~ A Comenius Project ~ 2009 – 2011

This was a school project between schools in five European countries - Denmark, France, Germany, Poland and N Ireland. The students participating in the project were aged between 16 and 18 years old. The project began in October 2009 and finished in April 2011. The principal aims of the project were to create a greater awareness among the students of healthy lifestyle issues for young Europeans and to help them realise how their actions today can have an impact on their future physical and mental well being.

Students communicated with their counterparts in the partner schools via e-mail. They negotiated the details of their investigations, prepared questionnaires, participated in online discussions, planned and carried out research, including interviews. In addition they took many digital photographs and video footage. From their research PowerPoint presentations, brochures, CDs, Videos and wall displays were produced and a sample of these materials are available on the various pages of this website. The participating students had the opportunity to develop their skills in ICT, team working, problem solving as well as their language skills.

In October three teachers from each of the partner schools met to review work to date, to confirm and if necessary to modify the plans and to agree the way forward for the year ahead. Each April a group of students from the participating schools travelled to one of the schools involved in the project to participate in workshops related to the themes for that year.

 

The project was a great success and the pupils derived many benefits from it and made many good friends.

Congratulations to all concerned!
