Methodology: -Following a waterfall management structure (initial assessment, plan, design, implement and ongoing assessment, verification and final assessment and maintenance), the doing sports dimension inside the healthy schools’ guide was developed as follows:
1. Each partner suggested 3 activities to deal with doing sports for the guide according to its needs
2. Each partner tested these activities at schools (both their own and others from partners).
During this period of observing and research, communication between partners were more intense, exchanging ideas and methods.
3.The host partner was in charge of writing the section’s introduction and give it final shape.
4.During the mobility, the implementation process was shared and assessed by all partners. There was a verification process implementing some these activities during a training session with students, and a final assessment by teachers and students took place.
5.Each partner organised and was in charge of dissemination actions at schools and locally to ensure the sustainability of the guide. – This training programme for students and its result (guide) had a main aim which was to develop our students’ competencies (language skills, critical thinking, collaboration) and increase their awareness and knowledge on health issues among students, teachers, parents and locals. Each dimension was preceded by an introduction (by the host) which contained information about the objectives, target groups, structure and expected results. The guide was conducted in English. This guide was done collaboratively among partners and publish on issue.
