KARAMAN, TURKEY.
Turkish Mobility
BY THE TURKISH TEAM
Our first LTT activity within the scope of Erasmus + strategic partnership project Healthy Bodies! Spiritual
health! Karaman High School was organized by Karaman between 09-13 December 2019.
The mobility was realized with the participation of 14 teachers and 23 students from Turkey, Romania,
Poland, Spain, Greece and Italy. On the first day, the program started with the official ceremony opening of
the participating students and teachers. Each country made a presentation about their school, city and
country. They presented the results of the survey based on the subject of the project meeting. They were
involved in the art of marbling in order to increase their spiritual health.
During the week, students and teachers participated in discussions, physical exercises, cultural events,
educational trips, all of which gave participants the opportunity to improve their spiritual health. They
learned to do yoga. They realized mental and spiritual relaxation with yoga. An individual who is mentally
and spiritually relaxed is considered to have taken the first step on the way to success. Maintaining the
health and harmonious development of students, relieving their stress, relieving them, encouraging trust,
solidarity and movement are the basic conditions of an effective education.
They attended a training at Karatay University Some of the activities that students participate in
on what to do to strengthen spiritual health. The to improve their spiritual health are as follows:

OCTOBER 2021, SECOND MOBILITY
INTELLECTUAL

SUCEAVA, ROMANIA.
Romanian Mobility
BY THE ROMANIAN TEAM
Our second LTT activity within the Erasmus + strategic partnership project Healthy Bodies! Healthy minds!
was organised by Spiru Haret National College of Computer Science Suceava, between the 18th to the 22nd
of October, 2021.
Due to the pandemic situation, this activity was organised physically, attended by 3 teachers and 9
students from Poland and Turkey and virtually, 22 teachers and 60 students from Spain, Greece and Italy. On
the first day, the participating students and teachers took part in the official opening, the ice-breaking
activities, presented the results of the questionnaire based on the topic of the project meeting - intellectual
health, took part in a debate where they discussed about the importance of each health dimension.
During the week, students and teachers took part in debates, physical exercises, cultural activities,
educational trips, all these offering participants the opportunity to improve their intellectual health.
Students played games, solved puzzles and riddles. We started from the idea that through playing, the child
begins to accumulate a lot of new knowledge. As he plays, he develops his imagination. A rich imagination is
proof of a well-trained intelligence. Maintaining the health and harmonious development of students is the
basic condition for an effective education, an education that encourages reflection, creativity, confidence,
solidarity and movement, causing young people to spend more time outdoors.
Here are some of the activities students attended in order to improve their intellectual
health:
1.Debate with a friend- Focusing attention on information that is different than your beliefs can improve
intellectual wellness. Naturally, we tend to only focus our attention on opinions, beliefs, and facts that hold
true to our viewpoints. When you expose the mind to opposing ideas, it expands the mind to grasp new
information.
2. Exercise- Not only is exercise good for your heart and body, but it can also help improve another major
muscle, your brain. In a study done at the University of British Columbia, researchers found that regular
aerobic exercise—the kind that gets your heart and sweat glands pumping—appears to boost the size of the
hippocampus, the brain area involved in verbal memory and learning, sharpens your memory, and helps you
feel better overall.
3. Improving your Intellectual Health through visits and walking- People feel great after going for a walk.
It’s an uplifting and invigorating experience that’s as good for your heart as it is for your mind. Going for a
walk can help improve your mental wellness. As a matter of fact, studies show that walking helps build self-
esteem by reducing rates of obesity, stress, and ultimately, symptoms of both depression and anxiety.
4. Play a game- Board games and cards are popularly known as leisure activities. These activities can also
help with your intellectual wellness. It makes no difference whether you are playing alone or you are playing
with others. As long as your mind is thinking,
improvements are being made.
5. Do puzzles- Crosswords and Sudoku are leisure activities that have proved to increase intellectual
wellness. Working through puzzles or finding words in patterns uses a great amount of brain power.
Increasing your ability to work through these activities can maintain and build your intellectual wellness.
6. Be social- We are social beings hardwired for connection. That means we need to spend time engaging
with others to thrive as we learn how to get a life we can enjoy. Studies have shown that people who
socialize often have higher levels of happiness than those who don’t.
In this project we want to promote a new attitude and a healthy lifestyle, a strong mind in a healthy body,
not only teachers and students, but also in the local, national and international community. To achieve all
this, the participating schools will organize and coordinate activities related to these six dimensions of
health: physical, intellectual, social, spiritual, emotional and environmental. We will encourage students and
young people in general to play and learn together, to ensure their healthy development, to enrich their
cultural knowledge and, in addition, to increase the quality of educational services, giving participants a
healthy living.

Italian Mobility
BY THE ITALIAN TEAM
Healthy bodies! Healthy minds! Mobility in Italy (13-17 december 2021); virtual mobility for Greece.
Accomodation: all the guests, teachers and students, stayed in a hotel because of the pandemic emergency.
During the Erasmus mobility in Viterbo, ITE Paolo Savi, our team worked on the environmental dimension:
green economy, protection of ecosystems, renewable energies, 3R.
We focused our attention on sustainability, in order to guarantee and ensure a peaceful existence to the
future generations.
If we do not take care of our Earth and begin to use its resources adequately and if we do not stop filling it
with waste it will end in a disaster. Actually a healthy Environment is fundamental for all forms of life. We
cannot survive without a global vision of well-being starting and including the ecosystems and natural
resources.
In fact, environmental well-being is a complex system that can be defined by many interdependent
components in which human beings are both passive and active variables.
It is fundamental for human well-being to live in an environment that is healthy and attentive to the needs
not only of the individual, but also of the health of the planet, as the one great environment truly shared by
all mankind.
On the first day, December the 13 th , the guests arrived at school where they attended a welcome concert.
Then the organizing team launched ice breaking activities, an informal way to get pupils to relax and start
mixing nationalities.
The Italian students presented the city, the county and the main tourist attractions of the area. Afterwards
the students were invited to join in some sporting exercises in the school gym. They split into multinational
teams and built their own country flags, recycling old fruit crates and colorful river stones. The use of waste
material allowed them to get to know each other in an informal and funny way.
In order to discover Viterbo, an old medieval town, and its history we decided to use a playful and
transnational modality: students and teachers were divided into groups to participate in a treasure hunt
through the streets and squares. The best group won a gadget but the competition was important because it
allowed the pupils to interact, take an interest in the history of the town and pay attention to some specific
details. It was a funny way to learn and improve.
The second day, December the 14 th , we started with the presentation of the Eco-museum and of a video
edited by the Italian students dealing with the importance of water and the hydrogeological situation in
Viterbo and its district. After that the guests visited at the University of Tuscia the headquarters of Santa
Maria in Gradi, an ancient monastic complex which is the seat of the University Museum System whose aim is
to preserve and enhance the cultural and naturalistic heritage of the territory. In the afternoon the
delegations visited the splendid Villa Lante, and admired one of the most famous Italian Mannerist gardens.
A unique architectural complex, surrounded by nature, whose design on a hilly slope exploits the natural
force of gravity to create a completely self-sufficient hydraulic system.
On Wednesday, December the 15 th, the students presented their works: all delegations produced a PPT
presentation on the concept of environmental well-being followed by the analysis of the results of the
questionnaire on Environmental Wellbeing. Students worked in groups and each of them had to reflect on
the topic of the project through key-guiding questions, a kind of brainstorming . In the afternoon the
students visited the Museum of the “ Facchini of Santa Rosa “. This Museum celebrates the transport of the
Santa Rosa “macchina” ( tower), a Catholic religious procession of the statue of the Patron Saint that is
located on the top of a very high and artistic tower carried by a hundred porters and recognized as an
intangible heritage of Unesco.
Fourth day: Thursday, the 15 th of December
Visit to Rome: The capital offers a great variety of architectural heritage from any period, even if the old part
is by far the best known. We chose to visit the Baths of Diocleziano. The Romans were very fond of the
psychophysical well being produced by spa treatment . This provides a very interesting link between proper
land and water management involving environmental health the Romans were very much aware of. Erasmus
is also culture and art, we also enjoyed visiting the Imperial Forum, Coliseum, Saint Peter …..
Fifth day: Friday, December the 16 th
The students, divided into groups, reflected on the concept of environmental well-being and prepared
presentations on the conclusions they have reached. The result is a booklet of good practices, which each
group presented to the others . The day ended with the closing ceremony and the delivery of the attendance
certificates by the head teacher.
The city of Viterbo was already known to the ancient Romans for the presence of thermal waters and springs
. They were aware of the precious therapeutic and antiseptic qualities of thermal waters; even today the
inhabitants of Viterbo love spending some time in these natural pools. These waters are rich in sulfur and
have been considered for centuries to be miraculous for skin because of their healing and purifying effects.
The thermal water flows spontaneously after having gushed out from underground in springs scattered
throughout the area around Viterbo. Everybody can bathe in these natural basins, most of the pools are free.
The last evening a dinner with typical dishes of the Italian tradition is served to the participants and finally a
contemporary dance show at the historic theater of the city.
The best travel of my life, that's the best sentence to start talking about my
experience. I could make new friends, meet new people and all was in person
and this is totally different than online and obviously is better. The Italian
students were very friendly and also all the different countries.
Best moment: The visit to Rome without any doubt.
