In our project YEEP, Young and Elderly in a European Perspective, Victum Gymnasium will send 24 students and 8 teachers from The Health Care Programme and The Child Care Programme to South West College in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, and COOS MARCHE ONLUS in Ancona, Italy. Our project will address the needs from three different working fields, elderly care, child care and people with special needs. Within these fields our participants will work with preventive health concerning healthy food and physical activities.Our project has three objectives:Objective 1: Both learners and staff will discover and experience how they can, through a participatory approach, increase the active involvement of older people, young children and people with special needs in EU projects. Our idea is that both learners and staff will make use of this experience and possibility in their future and current professions in school, elderly care, child care and daily centers for people with special needs. This means that in our project YEEP both young children from preschools, old people from rest-homes, people with special needs and students and staff from Victum Gymnasium, South West College (SWC) and COOS MARCHE ONLUS will be involved.Objective 2: As both young and old people with overweight are increasing in our European countries, another objective of our project YEEP will be to look at how we can work with preventive health with both children, elderly and people with special needs. Focus of this objective will be on healthy food and physical exercises.Objective 3: As The Europe 2020 strategy highlights the completion of upper secondary education as the minimum level of educational attainment for young people in today's society, a third objective of our project YEEP is to increase the number of students completing their education at our school to over 90%. This means that they also more successfully can integrate into the labour market in their own country and in other EU-countries after leaving our school.The profile of the participating students is that they are in the ages of 16-19 years old and have chosen to attend our Health Care Programme or our Child Care Programme. When it comes to socioeconomic and ethnical background we have a wide range of students attending both our programmes and the participants involved in our project will reflect this fact. Although we have a majority of girls attending these two programmes our intention is to involve some of the boys in our project as well. The profile of the participating teachers is reflecting the two programmes. They are teaching at The Health Care Programme and/or the Child Recreation Programme.
