The proposed partnership is called “Healthy Europe through ICT” (HETI). It aims to promote a healthy way of life. The objectives are to finish with children obesity, the bad food habits and the lack of physical exercise using ICT as resource. We will study healthy nutrition at schools and teach healthy eating to our students, with a view to establishing good practice in acquiring healthy habits (nutrition and physical activity). The study will involve children across the schools in identifying the similarities and differences between each school's/country's eating and physical exercise habits, sharing experiences by using new technologies, exchanging videos, Twinspace or wikispace, PowerPoint presentations, e-mails, video conferencing, blogs, developing awareness of ways to improve the healthy lifestyle in each country. Children will work to identify problems and their solutions. We want our pupils to be aware that our health is very important. What they learn properly in their younger years they are more likely to carry on with them for the rest of their lives.
The first year is dedicated to awareness among children and their families of the importance of a healthy eating. Pupils will put into practice a healthy breakfast avoiding sweets, industrial pastries and saturated fats. They will know different kind of meals, the food pyramid and a good diet. They will learn the relationship between phisical activity and health encouraging the practice of popular games as opposed to videogames.
The second year is dedicated to the production of a follow up notebook of eating and phisical activity, to analyze the treatment of the media about the healthy life.
