"With this project our aim is to encourage children through values-based education to start noticing dangers around us, how to prevent them, how to act out in a case of an emergency and how be more caring towards each other. In addition we would like to arise teachers and adults awareness about how to have necessary skills, tools, knowledge about preventing dangers and giving first-aid and how to pass all that to our children. The three main objectives of our project are:• Children: children learn and experience through value-based education to notice everyday life dangers around them; how to prevent dangerous situations and how to help an injured person if needed.• Teachers: teachers learn and share primary knowledge, use and create practical skills and tools to teach children to notice dangers from their everyday life, how to prevent them, how to call for help and how to give first aid if needed.• Produce: free ware first aid kit (electronic material) in 5 different languages.Regarding to this project we have a coordinating project team of 7 people from Estonia who will be in charge of running this project and partner countries such as Norway, The Republic of North Macedonia, Romania and Bulgaria. Each partner will delegate 4 employees to each transnational project meeting. All our partners have participated at least in one Strategic Partnership and one of our partners, Romania, has an experience of being a project coordinator. We feel that our partners are a good fit for this project, because they bring diverse strengths, new insights and specific competences, as described separately in the partner organization sections.This phase of filling in the project application form has shown, that all the partners are highly motivated and ready to work towards common goal. We all stand by equality, diversity and involvement - our common interest is to prepare our teachers in that sense to be innovative, brave, motivated, highly skilled and collaborative.During the project implementation phase we will have 6 transnational meetings and workshops where we will brainstorm and work out new materials (worksheets/games), come up with the situation descriptions and agree on terms of making educational videos according to the criteria we are currently implementing. During our last meeting in Tallinn, the host organization will hold a big local childrens´ event called ""Hea inimene Gala/Good person Gala"". We hope to make a great impression to our project partners and they will carry out the event in their own countries and that valuable tradition would spread all around the Europe!In between these transnational meetings we will have local project meetings to make local time-plan for implementing the work and eTwinning video meetings to make arrangements for upcoming training.This project will teach participants how to use methodology and materials, that we will work out all together. We will work towards developing high quality early childhood education and care systems and our goal is to make first aid as a part of each participants kindergartens´ curriculum. Project partners will learn how to use project knowledge and materials in their everyday learning and teaching process. We consider it to be an asset for an organisation to develop and maintain sustainable learning process what this project will certainly endorse.We also believe there is a great need to work out practical materials which our teachers and children can use in their everyday life learning/teaching process. Also it is a good material to use as a training material for staff. First aid kit will be used in organisations everyday learning and teaching process. It will be free ware to share with other kindergartens in participant countries because it will be both in english and their local languages.There will also be local project blogs in each partners´ language that will have review and latest updates about our project work for all the target groups that are interested. At the same time we will have international webpage/blog running where we will post our activities in cooperation with our partners in English. Partners will write articles in schools magazines; do a Erasmus + space presentation panel to their kindergarten; and use similar ways to make our project work as visible and approachable for public as possible. The outcomes of the project, open license first aid kit, will be directly transferable to other educational institutions on primary level; youth centers; Centers for Extra-Curricular Activities schools, even on other public and private institutions that deliver services to the public. Our intentions is intensive dissemination and wide using of our final product to maintain our projects´ sustainability."

"Childhood is the most flexible, vulnerable period in human life. This is the time when present and future behaviour is shaped including the ones considering healthy lifestyle. It is determined by: physical activeness, prevention and correction of body posture, safety and both hygienic and nutritional habits. The results of numerous observations of our pupils, diagnosis of their psycho-motoric development, talks with their parents as well as analysis of reports about children’s health in partners’ countries seems to confirm these detrimental states. Therefore, we have decided to unite our efforts, share experience from previous projects which we participated in, exchange know-how and create an international group consisting of teachers from Poland, Spain, Romania, Slovenia, Latvia, Cyprus and the United Kingdom. All of us are professionals in areas that are within our interests. Each of us specialises in a realm that the others would like to develop their skills in, exchange „good practices”. Our main aims:Starting a close cooperation among schools/pre-schools to exchange experience/share good practice and to work out new educational methodologies and techniques that would serve shaping the key competences, being a guarantee of children's successful and free participation in a democratic society in the future.Number and profile of participants:7 countries from EU, preschools and primary schools, all of them experienced in ICT, ecological education, healthy lifestyle, democratic education and/or teaching foreign languages. Teachers - BA/MA graduates, sometimes with additional qualifications (therapy, special pedagogics, language skills, ICT literacy), mostly experience in EU projects, some as participants and some as coordinators; some of the partners are eco schools; living in small villages and big cities; Children - aged 3-6 (pre-school), also with special educational needs because of various conditions (social, health, economic, racial and cultural aspects); Parents - a very diversified group - economically, socially, racially and with various cultural background; some experienced in being participants of EU projects;Activities:Our project activities will offer a specific training methodology for teachers and parents to acquire, promote and deliver to children basic nutrition education and healthy lifestyle competencies. We are planning to organise a lot of activities for children and their families to make them more familiar with healthy lifestyle (workshops, picnics, family contests). There are also activities connected with democratic education and ICT as these are the key competences of the future. To make the content more understandable for children all schools/groups are going to choose a toy that will accompany children and visit partners abroad. Teachers will improve their professional profile thanks to study visits while they will exchange good practices in all areas of our interest.Everyone interested in our ideas will have an access to a cookery blog and multimedia digital platform where we are going to share all results from lesson plans to the best recipes from all partner countries.Results:Apart of hard results mentioned above, there are numerous soft ones. We are going to improve teaching skills in terms of organisation of classes and creation of educational resources promoting healthy lifestyle (new forms, methods and techniques).Our staff will develop their ICT abilities used in educational process as well as their language skills. Students will operate the IWBs easily. Children will also become aware of diversity of countries, nations and languages in Europe. Everyone will learn the importance of their choices both in terms of school life and their health. We hope that our activities will help parents change their lifestyle to support healthy and balanced development of their children. The last but not the least, each of us will be more determined to continue the international cooperation for the sake of the whole community.Impact:At all levels starting with local up to the international, we will promote Erasmus+ initiatives foremost showing how positive they are for communities. Dissemination of project results and products, encouraging other schools towards starting and developing projects by sharing our experience, will be held via online websites like the blog or multimedia digital platform but also by arranging ""open classes"" for other teachers from other schools and picnics for families.We are sure that the project activities will contribute to permanent changes in our private and professional lives."
