Project Socrates
Being Healthy, Feeling Good     

In the school year 2007/2008 our school joined together with five schools from Belgium, Spain, Portugal and Italy a multinational two-year  project  which is called Being Healthy, Feeling Good. It deals with different aspects of healthy life-style and offers all participants a unique opportunity to visit   partner countries and learn more about today´s life in Europe.  Students can also  improve they knowledge of English and  their  computer skills. During the last school year two partner meetings  took place – in February in Prague and in April in Sint Niklaas /Belgium/. This school year the project continues. Two meetings  have been held so far – in Portugal and  Italy. The last meeting is taking place  in June in Spain.

Within the framework of the project many diffferent activites are carried on – such as projects, presentations, lectures, meetings etc. All these activities are connected with healthy lifestyle. During the lessons of physical training eurotests are being used and students are encouraged to do more sports. They learn a lot also about various aspects of the European Union.

All participating schools try very hard to prepare a nice programme for the partner meetings. It includes   visits of schools, sightseeing, presentations, cultural programmes, trips, parties, sports tournaments. Also stays in  guest families bring  an interesting experience. 

This project is  very beneficial and exciting  for all participants- for students and their teachers , and also for their schools.  It shows how to promote and encourage understanding  and cooperation among people in Europe.
