No sugar day - Cyprus

  • The aim of this contest is to help students become more aware of the different aspects of a healthy lifestyle. It also aims to help bring students closer so that they can create strong, healthy bonds of friendship while sharing experiences and wisdom in a challenging and fun way!

    The Healthy and Cool Contest consists of five challenges in total all aimed to raise students’ awareness of the effect of sugar, sweeteners and honey on our health. Each challenge comprises different activities and requires the production of different end-products. All end products aim to help students become more aware of the effect nutrition may have on human health.

    Students are expected to work collaboratively in groups of two or three partners, develop initiative, assume responsibility, organise and prioritise tasks, research authentic material and help each other towards the successful completion of all activities, required by the project.

    All groups need to complete all five challenges and submit all the required end-products. The end-products must be presented in class as part of a lesson; presentations will be followed by a class discussion and evaluation by the teacher.

    Each student/group will be assessed on the basis of:

    1. The quality of their work,
    2. The variety and accuracy of the content,
    3. The originality and quality of the presentation of the end-products, (use of audio-visual material, special effects, etc.)
    4. Participation in class discussions,
    5. Punctuality in submitting the end-products within the set deadlines,
    6. The active involvement of all group members during the preparation period and during the class presentations.

    General rules:

    • The group is successful when each member of the group is successful!
    • All group members need to be actively involved in all the challenges.
    • Points will be allocated for each challenge.

    The group who will have collected the most points are the winners in each class! In case more than one groups have the same results/score, then there will be a draw!
