Health Matters

A European school project on health issues inspiring young people across Europe to make informed, responsible choices about their well-being.  

The purpose of this project is to stimulate our pupils to become more informed about health issues and so encouraging them to make more responsible decisions that are important for themselves and others.  This will be made more interesting and exciting by encouraging them in a variety of international projects exchanging information and working cooperatively so that all pupils involved  discover that beneath the superficial cultural differences lie the universal values of self-respect and respect for others.

 The students will cooperate and share their ideas both through email and attending the coordinating meetings.  The small numbers of pupils at those meetings will work as an international group, serving as ambassadors for their own countries and delivering feedback to their fellow students

on special projects, involving for instance drama, art and information technology. This will in turn help cement relationships between the students from all participating nations.

 To evoke the students’ interest and enthusiasm we will publish the outcomes of their projects in the following media: a European magazine, travelling exhibition and website.  The most exciting outcome of the project will be the final CD-Rom that will include articles from the magazine, video recording of drama pieces together with some interactive activities.
