Àngels and Judith traveled to Italy to attend the final meeting of the Erasmus+ project "Health."

During this experience, they had the opportunity to visit various primary and secondary schools (I.C Vito Fabiano; Borgo Sabotino, Borgo Bainsizza, and Borgo Sant Maria) as well as nurseries.

They were able to acquire important knowledge about a healthy lifestyle through the practice of sports and games and the incorporation of a healthy diet. In addition, they developed teaching skills by working together with other teachers from the associated schools with the aim of researching and producing course programs based on the theme of the project in question.

In this project, we have collaborated with schools in Turkey, France, and Italy. Now, each country is working to finalize the last details of this project.

Àngels traveled to Zagreb for the first meeting of our new Erasmus+ project, "Walk Around the Earth," focused on sports and healthy habits. Together with partners from all over Europe, we will work to promote an active lifestyle among our students.

One of the most exciting initiatives will be the development of a mobile app that will count the steps taken by participants. This will allow us to compete with schools in other countries and find out which country is the most active!

We are very excited to be part of this project and to share this experience with the entire educational community! Let's keep walking together towards a healthier life!
