SAFE AND ACTIVE SCHOOLDAY - WellBeing Partnership

Closed

Our common need is to develop the operational culture and environment of schools in sustainable ways and school's relations with society to: 1) encourace active life of children and youth 2) increase participation and involvement 3) strengthen the feeling of togetherness 4) develop new models of partnership to promote well-being and involvemnt of children and youth. We are going to create operational models and practical tools to: 1) increase active participation and involvement during the school day and afternoon hours (break time activities, schools' leisure activities, equipment, campaigns etc.) 2) create better basis for doing things together (developing school yards, co-operation between school and families etc.) 3) enable innovative co-operation in schools, between schools, city level and cross borderly 4) collect data to evaluate the process, well-being and life style of children and youth and models for partnership. In order to make this happen, we must enable the development of ideas and activities: 1) in each individual school: school development teams (SDT) have to be established 2) between schools: school network meetings (SNM) have to be organised regurlarly 3) cross borderly: a) project staff meetings (PSM) have to be organised on a regular basis, b) cross border development group (CBDG) of teachers, principals, school nurses and other relevant actors has to be established, c) cross border steering group (CBSG) of city level and school center management level has to be established Activities and development work wil take place in 44 schools in Turku and in 45 schools in Tallinn.
