Games Always Make Everyone Supportive

The purpose of this project was to help establishing games as an integral part of the learning process. Sport is one of the best ways to stimulate our pupils to adopt healthier lifestyle. Therefore the pupils should be encouraged to take up different sport activities outside of the school ground as well. Wishing to create an unitary community among all five partners involved in the current project, we built a model of a mini-European community united by the idea of a healthy lifestyle. The current project was needed to enhance the European dimension of education in our schools by promoting joint co-operation activities with schools from different European countries, to encourage students to play sport actively and take care about their health. To help pupils and teachers to acquire and improve skills not only in the topic or subject area on which the project is focused, but also in terms of teamwork, social relations, planning and undertaking project activities. The mobility of students was the best way to realize common European ways of educating and of the exchange of experiences and knowledge and to promote the European dimension and languages. The project aimed to integrate PE at school with active sport and outdoor games. It laid the foundations of a new beginning, changes and improvement in the health status of the students. Improvement of the knowledge levels and appreciation of the benefits from active and healthy way of living motivated the young people to be more physically active and created a new healthy approach to sports. Besides our project tried establish “games” not only as sport activities. They can be used also to motivate children with learning difficulties and their families as well. We counted on our teachers to incorporate more games into their teaching methods so as to make the curriculum more interesting and accessible. Another purpose of our project was to mix the sport activities in school with tourism and ecology. We aimed to change and better the health of our pupils by educating them on the benefits of the healthy way of life and motivate them to adapt an active way of life.Environmental issues were very important for us because we aspired to organize a lot of school activities out in the nature. That is why it is very important to install a sense of awareness to the environment in the young people. Furthermore besides being helpful for our physical and emotional health, the sport also can bring together pupils from different countries and ethnic backgrounds.
