Healthy Habits for Kids

Habits are hard to break. That's why the sooner in life we build good, healthy habits, the easier it is to keep them and stay as healthy as possible. And when good habits are in place, it's easier to resist bad ones.

Your child's habits start with you

The most important thing to remember is that you are your child's role model. Your habits affect your children's habits.

If your habits are unhealthy-smoking, drinking too much alcohol, or always expecting the worst, for example-your child is more likely to get those habits.

If your habits are healthy-eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, looking forward to tomorrow, for example-your children are more likely to build those habits in their own lives.

What follows is help and advice for building good, lifelong habits in four areas:

Healthy eating.

Regular physical activity.

Staying safe and healthy.

Healthy thinking.

Youth exchange “Employability for all: Social Entrepreneurship” Tallinn (Estonia) 15th - 23rd July 2017

The nascent field of social entrepreneurship is growing rapidly and attracting increased attention from many sectors. There’s something inherently interesting and appealing about entrepreneurs and the stories of why and how they do what they do.

But what does social entrepreneurship actually mean? What exactly a social entrepreneur is and does?

A team of Polish representatives, that is going to participate in the youth exchange “Employability for all: social entrepreneurship”, will definitely check it out!

On Thursday 28 June, the group of the Polish participants gathered to discuss the topic, project objectives and possible outcomes of the Estonian exchange, as well as Polish group tasks completion to help ensure project success.

The project will bring together about 50 young people from different countries, including youth experiencing social, economic and educational difficulties and also disabilities. It is an attempt to give an appropriate answer to the problems that young people from disadvantaged countries are facing in the present: the high percentage of unemployment.

For the reasons mentioned above, the objectives of the exchange are:

- to empower young people raising their self-esteem and stimulating their creativity and sense of entrepreneurship;

- to raise awareness in the participants on key competencies and develop different methods for using them in practice within social projects, developing and matching them with the new requirements of Erasmus + with their organisations;

All participants will be taught by using a variety of non-formal educational tools and methods: debates, team games, discussions, role plays, public speaking, teamwork, etc.

Symbol of liberty and fight against mafia Not only the airport of Palermo is a symbol of fight for liberty; it was given the name Falcone – Borsellino in memory of the two leading anti-mafia judges Gioavanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino who were murdered by the mafia in 1992, but also many walls and buildings remind The Sicilian Independence Movement.

PROJECT HOME for refugee and migrant children in Europe

On Sunday the project HOME was implemented at the Kofinou Reception Centre for Asylum Seekers and Refugees in the Republic of Cyprus.

The Kofinou Reception Centre is the only dedicated camp in Cyprus that hosts, originating primarily from Syria and Palestine, refugees and asylum seekers since 2004. The camp has the capacity to accommodate up to 400 persons and according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (Unhcr), there were 3,088 asylum seekers in Cyprus waiting for a decision on their applications for international protection at the end of 2016.    

During the HOME project children were told the story about the fairy who got lost in the forest and is not able to find her home. Then, we asked them to build a house for her so that she can come back and happily live in one of them.

The project was already successfully implemented in Central European schools, and, although the children from the Arab states weren’t much familiar with the mythical creatures such as elves or fairies, after a while they had already ideas about their houses constructions.  

At the end the children presented their houses, telling the name of it, the story of its construction and the fairy who lives inside.  

​Finally, all the photos of the fairy houses were exhibited in a public space at the Kofinou camp. 

The project was attended by 32 children from the Kofinou Reception Centre for Asylum Seekers and Refugees in the Republic of Cyprus.

HOME is not an only art project, but also environmental and psychology one. It aims at:

a) Reflecting the perception of HOME in the process of migration;

b) Providing  an opportunity for children to visit and learn more about the forest environment, its importance and what people can do to help protect it; c)  Promoting physical, cognitive and creative development through play and outdoor activities.
