Fair Play: Peace and tolerance by shared intercultural learning through healthy living and S.P.O.R.T.S: Staying healthy
Participation
Olympic Ideal
Respect
Tolerance
Self-Confidence
The idea of our project is to focus on sport and healthy living. We came across the idea, because we wanted to create a anti-racist, intergrative project, where it is easy to involve a lot of people, even people who do not speak English well.
Since the main principles of sport are fairness, reaching a goal together, involving people (from all over the world), getting to know your team mate, making integration possible and, what is most important, to play or compete peacefully together, our topic is ideal in order to support integration of students and teachers of any kind into our project.
Additionally, the topic has a lasting impact on the participant´s life, may it be in private life or in the world of work.
During our preparatory meeting in Bath, England, we talked about traditional sports activities in the participating countries, about the possibilities students have to do sports in their teenage life, and they way they are taught to stay healthy and to keep fit.
Astonishingly we have noticed great differences in mordern sports facilities in every country. Therefore we have decided to take students to institutions which do not exist in the other countries and teach them how these institutions work, who are they run by, who is working there, and what it takes to run such an institution.
The final product of our project will be an interactive Ebook, which will be filled during the project, by the end of the project, it can be published. Every step we take during the project will be shown on our official project website which will be kept up for at least five years, such as our Comenius Website, which still exists and which is still quite popular.
