Why do we exist, what do we stand for and who is participating?
‘HaLL is aimed at secondary school pupils and their teachers, aiming to equip them with new ways to promote healthy living. The project connects teaching about healthy lifestyles through multidisciplinary learning and the combination of physical education with other school subjects, using the latest digital tools. By doing this we aim to promote a healthy and learning lifestyle for pupils and teachers not only in school, but throughout their daily lives, now and in the future.’
HaLL’s main objective is to increase school performance among pupils: a healthy mind and a healthy body makes them better able to perform at school and beyond. This also helps to form good habits for later life, contributing to education in its broadest possible sense: what the Germans call Bildung.
HaLL also helps adapt school curricula to the 21st century by combining traditionally separated study fields, truly integrating active lessons and activities throughout the school day and beyond by also focusing on pupils’ food and mobility choices.
The first of these outputs forms the training programme for secondary school pupils including the Healthy Learning Lifestyle methodology, lesson plan and evaluation plan, including tools that school teachers can use to execute the programme directly with their pupils. The pupil training programme is the biggest output in terms of development time to be invested.
The second output is key as it is aimed at secondary school leaders, education innovation managers and multidisciplinary learning and healthy lifestyle enthusiasts at schools. The “Cascade training materials” consists of the National Facilitators Training Pack and the School Leader Training Pack. These will facilitate the development of the Healthy Learning Lifestyle approach in schools across Europe.
The third output – the HaLL Teachers Guide – is pivotal as it concerns the teacher’s role in relation to our approach. The teacher is in a key position between school management, the pupil, parents and others.
This IO is set up as a practical, hands-on guide describing the school programme itself, the opportunities and implications of the HaLL approach in and especially outside of the classroom.
