questionnaires, surveys, the reports for the
common e-books with all the work get together.
The project had activities for dissemination in class,
school and community and social media. During
thematic activities the students improved their
knowledge in class or at home. The project had
practical activity about celebrations: Tuberculosis
Day in January, Safer Internet Day in February,
Water-Day in March, Nutrition Day in April,
eTwinning-Europe Celebration Day in May, as
events for this project. The obtained results were
presented in different ways using web-tools
techniques get together all the time in padlets or
the genialy tool. The project included monthly
surveys for students and teachers about satisfaction
regarding project and also the appreciation of the
parents and other visitors.
The project was integrated in many areas of the
curriculum: Biochemistry subject, Food Hygiene,
Nutrition and Quality of Food. But the target was
also enriching knowledge from other disciplines
which are: Chemistry, Biology, personal hygiene,
creativity, English language, IT tools, discipline of
life behaviour, Counselling Hours. In the project
there is a page with the disciplines involved in
project.
The main skills for students to develop were
practical and daily knowledge about health and
possible threats of diseases. At the same time the
project appealed for understanding some food
components and biological aspects – organs’
functions, or medical issues - diseases of the body
function and a discipline of daily routine life, all
this, with influences on the healthy body functions.
Students worked during school hours or in
technological lab-classes and the project’s work was
correlated with theoretical knowledge presented at
Food Technology Modules. Some of the work was
translated into English at school or in lab-classes. In
this way we followed to improve the English
language skills working together in translating and
more.
In order to make them to be interested, the
students searched on the internet about
components, nutritional quality, main nutrients and
components with influence on health, obesity,
diseases and other issues, the importance of sports
in their life, for understanding the positive aspects
of a good nutrition and active life. Also to be aware
and conscientious about the importance of creating
or maintaining a well organised daily routine and
discipline.
The project was an interactive one and we were in
touch all the time with partners via TwinSpace,
Facebook-page, Twin-Forum, Whatsapp for
teachers. Our project has also an organised
TwinSpace where were presented all the steps to
follow in plan’s project and the subjects of the
parts, by each partner. Every partner country
fulfilled its part according to the monthly and
deadlines program of the project. We exchanged
information about our work by making folders on
TwinSpace materials and uploaded work.
Informative messages and deadlines messages
related with monthly activities were sent by email
between teachers and in Latest Updates News, also
with feedback responses. All the time we were in
contact and we received feedback of our work
posted on the Forum page.
The communication was individual on Padlets or in
groups of students for their work, Twin-Forum
space, through presented materials, logo-voted,
reports analysis and videos; students presented
their part-work in project. For a better interaction,
each partner presented some relevant activities
from their schools related to project as seminars in
school, events outside the school, activities in class
about project and monthly events with photos and
collages of activities. Student-members of teams
wrote to one another on live-eTwinning-chat events
from home or from school time. We approached the
new-based-gaming learning with Cospaces tools.
Mails, Facebook and Whatsapp Teachers Group
were useful for each partner, which made a good
communication and encouraged opinions and
sharing work in time. Teachers were in contact also
on Live-Chat series of webinar-sessions – meeting
events during the whole project - to establish the
plan, for appreciations, for dissemination activities,
for sharing the events, pictures, news and other
discussions. The communication was more than
efficient. The project had many surveys - feedback
after each step for students and teachers, too. In
this way we managed the impact of the project on
every member involved.
Collaboration between partners was very efficient
and we were all the time in contact on Whatsapp
