__**HEALTH IS REAL WEALTH. (HERE.WE)**__ **MULTILATERAL COMENIUS PROJECT** under the **Lifelong Learning Programme** to be developed during the period **1.08.2012-31.07.2014 ** It is a multilateral project run by four schools: //Ozel from Anamur -Turkey- (////project coordinator), Das Zes Wielen from Alkmaar -Holland-, Sandbrook Primary School from Rochdale -UK-, and// //IES Juan López Morillas -Spain-// //(project partners)// The project has been funded with support from the European Commission **__PROJECT SUMMARY__** Health is an international issue.Our project promotes the importance of raising awareness of active and healthy lifestyle as an investment for the future.The EU Commission has on September 6, 2010 proposed that 2012 be designated as the "European Year for Active Ageing".We would like to contribute to this proposal to stay healthy longer focusing on the complete harmony of the body,mind and spirit. We aim to creat a cooperation framework on the generations of future in our schools,between the ages from 6 to 16.The project will engage the students with fun and information on their well-being by cooperating on having an active and healthy life styles focusing on the activites related with diet,sunshine,water,rest,air,exercise.We will form a recipe as an output in which there will be the descriptions of healthy food and eating parts and also the descriptions of a physically and mentally active life style by respecting individual differences. We will connect health,nutrition,human behaviour and environment through physical,social,language and art activities.The partner schools of this project have different types of activities parallel to their curriculum that means it will be a colorful cooperation and every partner will add an ingredient to the 'Recipe-E Nur'.The activities will be performed during the period of two years. Our first step will be of knowing each other with the help of e-mails,presentations and website creating a conference group. The students,teachers,families and will learn to find different habits of the European people and will have the chance to exchange their opinions to build a happy and healthy future. By the help of this project all the partners will learn to nurture their body,their mind and their spirit in the best way. __**RATIONALE**__ According to the information we take from www.schoolsforhealth.eu and World Health Organization 'Habits in most European countries have changed rapidly in recent decades.Industralization and other socio-economic factors have played a major role in changing the geographical distribution of the population,with densely populated cities and depopulation in rural areas.These factors have affected food habits and life styles differently across Europe,producing a varied picture according to varying political,social and economic situations.The children have started to spend more time in front of the computer or television and the less time for social and sports activities.The more they eat junk food,the more they use imaginary communications,the more they stay without movement,the more they become unsocialized and the more they get unhappy.They start to have pyhsicological problems causing from their physical apperance or other health problems.That means;how we nourish our body,mind and spirit,we take the product.If we approach with negative feedings failure is inevitable.We want to give the idea of 'Health is the real Wealth'. In the light of the view of Comenius,the Czech pedagogue from the 17th century who lends his name to this EU activity,'The Schools must open themselves to the outside world' it is essential that the school should provide the students with the necessary environment and activities and acquire the necessary knowledge to have a healthy life style.So,we would like to promote a positive approach of tackling health,to find good practical methods for prevention and health promotion.We want to share our methods and practices in the field of health promotion,discuss and compare our problems and to contribute finding solutions on them by improving the social dialogues between the sides.We expect that we will be an example for the other schools in the countries.
