Mens sano in corpore sano

Description

"The Greek philosopher Thales was the first to advise ""A healthy Mind in a healthy Body"". Nowadays society is imposing barriers -psychological, cultural or social- the state of well-being implies overcoming these and accepting one's peers. The goals of the project are linked with the strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training ""ET 2020"". Their implementation includes activities in various school subjects (history, French, foreign language, music...) in an intellectual and a practical approach through experiments, conferences, training courses, mobilities, workshops, sport, actions around 6 sectors (Communication, Creation, Environment, Health, Humanity, Sciences). The partnership will enable learners and staff to explore, share knowledge, understand, describe results during congresses and courses and compare lifestyles and backgrounds across Europe These meetings will give the opportunity to people from different social backgrounds (medical, educative, cultural worlds and associations) to carry out common tasks, taking into account everyone's specific physical constraints whatever their disability. Everybody should be safe, healthy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included. The project will allow the acquisition of knowledge, know how to be and help develop peaceful, cooperative, supportive, fraternal relationships with the other Europeans. This will be done through better self-awareness ( skills, physical and mental abilities, tastes, strengths and know one's own limits and accept them) and self-esteem and self-confidence (we try to understand and analyze our actions in a positive way). The aim is to find one's identity, open up to the world, be more successful along with getting awareness of one's own and inalienable value as a human being. By putting them into perspective, it will help face failures, learn from mistakes and benefit from them. Our project will give tools to know oneself better, know one's body, one's way of thinking, one's sensorimotor capabilities, feelings and needs, one's sexuality, etc... Knowledge transmission from professionals in their fields, and in peer education (university to high school, high school to middle school) will be an asset for their future. Learning to meet other people in a compassionate way creates a favorable climate so that everyone can perceive their own value. Self-esteem will grow with communication, respect for differences, cooperation, knowledge of other cultures, other people and ourselves. Exchanges with experts (dance, drama, photolanguage, relaxation, …) will be part of the process. Every partner will take an active part in planning, developing and evaluating the project. Psychological wellbeing will be treated as distinct from subjective wellbeing and focused on aspects such as a sense of purpose, a sense of autonomy, competence, relatedness, locus of control, self-image, self-esteem, optimism and aspirations for the future. Our project puts an emphasis on people's engagement into social, emotional and physical life, which will impact their choices in the future. Acquiring some knowledge about the physical body and spiritual mind is really necessary. The meetings and exchanges will contribute to the creation of a supportive and formative EU awareness. The great variety of activities are based on self-respect, respect of the others and diversity, whether in the school system, in the medical, artistic, social, intellectual or linguistic fields. The project aims to overcome barriers created by the varieties of professions and languages used (French, Spanish, Finnish, Romanian and English). That will increase understanding and open-mindedness through: cooperative working in and out of school, transfer of good practices, a sense of personal well-being, self-worth and social value. Our aim is a shift from purely academic knowledge to real, practical skills, which can improve students' future employment opportunities. Although the applicant organizations are only schools, this project will be developed in collaboration with different NGOs. The desire to develop an international team spirit is a preponderant point for the pupils, the teachers, the management team, the artists, the nurses, the sports instructors. The will to favor mutual respect, appreciate the diversity of cultures in individuals and groups, excluding all xenophobia and discrimination, is a key point of this project. The outputs of these experiences (reports, articles on the blog, videos) will be collected and shared during the meeting projects (Teaching & Learning), courses and congresses (proposed by each country) and disseminated out. What distinguishes this project from other projects is the attention paid not only to students' needs but also to teachers' professional development, by creating an exchange of good practices with external professionals, having non-traditional roles and mutually enrich each other through new perspectives."
