When we evaluated these questionnaires and face to face interviews with parents of students and teachers we detected that we must provide more opportunities to our students to go and play outside,to do sports and to join cultural activities.On the other hand ,chıldren who sit and eat in front of PCs or with smartphones, get overweight day by day ,in addition they became introverted and unsocial unfortunately.Last generation are losing their health and health is the most important thing in life.For this reason,we created and carried out the project.Objectives of the project:-decreasing usage time of smart phones and PCs for students-diverting students to go outside,to do sports and to join cultural activities-getting better school resuts and increasing success-improving learning abilities and reducing early school leaving-stimulating social and linguistic intelligence-getting consciousness of European citizenship for future-improving speaking and understanding English abilities -cooperating with different countries and cultures for innovation.-sharing knowledge and ideas among European countries-developing ICT skills of students and teachers-sharing and exchanging good practices with other European countries-raising the parent's awareness on the harmful side of technological devicesNumber and profile of participating organisations;We are five partners,Turkey,Italy,Latvia,Portugal and Romania.All of us similar secondary schools with the students at 12-15.We and Romanian school were unexperienced about projects,but Portugal,Italy and Latvia were experienced about European projects.Description of undertaken main activities;We realized two transnational meetings.Kick off meeting in Italy and final in Turkey.
