Impact: Healthy physical activities

  • These are the follow-up activities related to the first ring.

     

    Our Strava club reached 7000km during the meeting in Kassel - achieved through shared activities activities and through activities in each of the 5 different countries.

    The club is keep on adding kilometres as the project goes on.  Recently, under the lockdown caused by Covid-19 we reached our 10.000 shared kilometres - done under the particular conditions each country was in.

     

    1. Shared activities

     

    2. Examples of activities in each of the participating countries:

     

    Greece

    We organized a three-day athletic event for all the students of our school.

    The first day was spent preparing the students for the purpose of such an event and for the activities that they would participate in.

    The second day we walked for 2K along the beach because it’s an activity all students can perform.

    The third day we had prepared various kinetic games in the school. Music played a crucial game in completing the activities and giving students rhythm.
