The nature does not do anything in vain - Aristotel
Thorough this Project we propose to determine the criteria for a healthy life with herbs and at the same time to raise awareness on protecting nature by promoting the planned activities. Identification of the herbs in order to promote a more healty life and become closer to nature is one of the mission of our Project The aims of this project is to give the children knowledge of how to create a sustainable development and to promote the diversity and importance of ecological issues. The children will learn about the necessity of loving and protecting nature.
During many years in our schools, we followed a lot of programs of healthy life engaging students and teachers .And we thought to compare the natural remedies in different countries. Through our plans we aim to raise awareness on nature and the positive effect of herbal mixtures on health. The students will be motivated to think of the alternative ways of medicines and the strengthening the bounds with nature and appreciating new tastes. They will also have to change the way of learning the main features of partner countries ,such as: geography,culture,history,customs,gastronomy in order to compare and exchange information. Nature and its biodiversity cannot be forgotten and mankind cannot ignore it. According with this project, students and teachers will discover the differences and similarities of each country’s flora and the importance of healthy lifestyles. We want our pupils to be aware that nature is very important and our children can take part in the protection of environment.
Students and parents will be involved in a process of protection of their environment and in habits of a healthy life. We will deal with issues in the area of healthy herbs of nature. The partnership is about pupils re-discovering and developing the skills and knowledge required to be able to grow some of their own plants and herbs. Each partner school will have a location that they can use to grow some plant, this can be any size. Understanding of how the produce can be used will be developed with an exchange of information about preparing herbal mixtures and recipes between partners and through research. The exchange of information between partners will largely be conducted on a dedicated web site and by e-mail however mobilities will be very important with both staff and pupils from each partner school being able to learn more about the culture, traditions and customs of other partner countries. Through practical activities, the children will develop an awareness of how growing our own plant can reduce the negative impact on the environment and contribute towards healthy living. Encourage the students to a better use of herbs by increasing the awareness of natural products.
The children will have many opportunities to compare and contrast the natural environment and cultures of other countries in Europe, improving their understanding, tolerance and empathy for the values and beliefs of fellow European citizens and sustenable development.
Students will be involved in:
*Growing plants and herbs and analyzing the plant growth over the life of the partnership,
* Developing their ICT skills by producing a stop motion film of plant growth and sharing it with the other partners
*Growing a selection of plants in all countries to monitor how the environment has an impact on growth,
*Develop a sense of European citizenship;
* Raise awareness to international cooperation;
* Learn about and respect the different cultures and languages in Europe;
* Promote healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle in European students;
*Be able to appreciate new tastes.
This project aims to accomplish the following national priorities: encouraging sustainability and transferability of projects and of innovative products and practices, people with fewer opportunities participation's in projects, involvement in schools located in rural areas, improving teaching and learning foreign languages.
