Introduction to the Blue Zones project

  • Our world and our lifestyle has rapidly changed in the past year. The Covid crisis has left an intense imprint in our lives. 

    The Blue Zones project was initiated by Dan Buettner. These zones refer to 5 areas in the world where people live for longer. Their lifestyle, diet, activities and customs promote longevity as well as happiness. 

    We took this idea to make students reflect on what habits they could adapt in their lifestyles to become both healthier and happier, with a final project in which they make a plan to turn their town into a Blue Zone; and a collaborative plan between both countries, to select measures to turn an European City into a Blue Zone.

    This is the project carried out by our students:
