Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2019 Newsletter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Our eTwinning Project “Health before everything” by Flavia Daniela Oniga and Nicoletta Huştiuc The Health Project was first born as a result of participating in the first eTwinning workshop at Gymnasium School no. 3 Cugir, within the Erasmus+ project, EARTHWORM. Together with Mrs. Nicoletta Huştiuc, pre-school teacher at GPN Good Friday, we set up this small project that we thought would address a current topic that could be examined in the activities that have been carried out since the early years. This theme addressed topics such as caring for and respecting personal hygiene rules, knowing and practising a rational diet, etc. We wanted this project to be an international one so it was translated into 3 languages: Romanian, English and Spanish. First of all, the Health project was planned to run for a period of one year after a timetable, so each month the teachers participating in the project had activities with children taking into account its structure (e.g. September - Kindergarten the castle of cleanliness, October - The mirror image, November - I know how to take care of myself, etc.). We invited Spanish and Turkish partners, so this project became international. As a working procedure, each partner institution worked by re-establishing the timetable, one activity each month, small working groups were created in each class / group involved in the project. We designed to work with specialized medical staff, dental practitioners, and parents and grandparents in the project. The objectives proposed for it were: the distinction of some rules of collective hygiene, the designation of rules for the maintenance of life and health, the identification and knowledge of the role of objects used for hygiene, the understanding of concepts such as health, hygiene, illness, etc. 71
