The project intends to draw the attention of the students, staff and local communities of the participating countries to the importance of sport and healthy eating. The project 'Y.E.A.H" will educate students on healthy lifestyle choices including appropriate eating habits and sport related issues. The project will therefore cover two main areas; sports and healthy eating.

We envisage that during the first year of the project we will concentrate on the topic of Sports. This will involve pupils making presentations concerning traditional sports, playground and lesser-known games and activities as well as prominent sports figures. Students will also develop a Fair Play Code with a set of rules regulating supporters and players’ conduct.

In the second year we will concentrate on the topic of 'Healthy Eating' which will provide pupils with an insight into traditional meals and eating habits with a focus on 'healthy' and 'unhealthy' food choices. Students will develop and launch an advertising campaigns promoting an active and fulfilling lifestyle as well as creating their own cook book with simple traditional recipes.

The project will provide students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge about different cultures through the topic ‘sports’. Sport is a popular subject with pupils in all our schools especially after the Olympics and will motivate children to learn about other countries. The project will aim to educate our pupils in how to be effective communicators, respectful of different languages and cultures, and to have a greater understanding of how the world works together. In addition it will develop learners' understanding of sport and how sporting values such as fairness, equality, respect, cooperation and communication will assist them in our goal to help them become participating, knowledgeable and understanding European citizens. The students will heighten their awareness of their own health and choices in terms of a healthy diet and active lifestyle. This is important in relation to current trends in childhood obesity and future health implications.
