The World Health Organization as a key actor in
defining the terms for policies to counteract obesity recommends a minimum of
30 minutes of moderate physical activity per day for adults and minimum of 60 minutes for children.
School-aged youth should participate of moderate to vigorous physical activity
daily, in forms that are developmentally appropriate, enjoyable, and involve a
variety of activities. Development of motor skills should be emphasised in
early age groups. Specific types of activity according to the needs of the age
group should be addressed: aerobic, strength, weight bearing, balance,
flexibility, motor development.
Childhood is the time in our
lives when the attitudes are shaped determining the current and future health behaviour.
That’s why we need to
start changing the lifestyle of children.
The project “Move
up to be healthy and happy” is the answer to diagnosed problems connected
with children’s health, nutrition, physical and personal development,
integration and assimilation. The best solutions that can help children in
facing with their problems are to encourage them to do sports and show how to
live healthy. Our project includes a programme which appears in a comprehensive
approach to children and their lives. We include not only children but also
their teachers and parents who will get knowledge on how to ensure healthier
life for children.
The main objective:
The implementation of
pro-health attitudes among children through promotion of grassroots sport on
the schools background.
The specific objectives:
1. Prevention of civilization
diseases of children by raising their awareness about health.
2. Promotion of the equality
in sport (equal access to sport for socially excluded, obese, disabled
children).
3. Promotion of social
inclusion (events aimed at children socially excluded).
4. Improvement of the
qualifications of teachers in running P.E. classes with children.
5. Promotion of grassroots
sport.
6. Strengthen cooperation
between institutions operating in the field of sport.
7. Exchange of experience
between Partners.
The project will be carried out in 6 European
cities such as Gdynia (Poland), Forte dei Marmi (Italy), Lousada (Portugal),
Aghiresu (Romania), London (Great Britain) and Prague (Czech Republic) from
January 2016 till December 2017. All Partners will act according to a uniform
programme dedicated to the target groups. The programme includes many various
activities for children, teachers and parents which are intended to encourage
them to take up sport, raise the awareness of health, provide tools and
materials useful in daily life of the participants.
