Pedagogical methods were focused on developing the skills for searching and studying on one’s own, to be aware about health in general, style of healthy living, diseases and effects. Also the strategies of teaching through this project were organising groups, collaboration in the class and between partner-teams, individually, practical activities and many collaborative and dissemination actions. Their work results were presented using various education digital web 2.0 tools – collage-photos, logos voted, videos, quizzis, genialy, picture-collage, questionnaires and reports of their collaborative work.
