All Disease Begins in the Gut

is a quote attributed to the Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates nearly 2500 years ago.

probiotics can help reduce the number of days of school missed due to illness by boosting immune system

a link between the consumption of foods rich in probiotics and fewer exams' anxiety to students.

The beneficial effects of PROBIOTIC FOODS on human health and nutrition are increasingly recognized by health professions so we want to make the benefits of probiotics and prebiotic foods known by students, colleagues and as many people as possible around us BECAUSE studies besides others show that:

The project is addressed to teachers who teach science subjects (biology, chemistry, food technology, dietetics, etc) in high schools (vocational or general) and students who are studying in order to obtain the qualification.

TEAM

Selection criteria for teachers: - Communication skills in English language: minimum level B1; - Computer skills; - Experience in teaching biology or food-related subjects or English; - Training and certification in project topics; - Experience and availability to support project activities - Involvement in extracurricular activities in eTwinning projects related to food, nutrition and health. Selection criteria for students: - aged 15 to 19 years old - Communication skills in English language: minimum level A2; - Computer skills; - Academic performances, involvement in extracurricular activities in eTwinning projects related to food, nutrition and health; - Availability to support project activities

PARTICIPANTS CRITERIA

we'll work on this project by using STEM education activities such as laboratory experiments and fermentation workshops which we believe will also improve our students' competences.

In order to include efforts by students themselves

* promote a healthy lifestyle * promote creativity and innovation in the learning of contents in specialized disciplines in the fields of 1) The science behind fermented foods and the chemical reaction that occurs during fermentation, 2) Technology by researching how has fermentation evolved over time through scientific discoveries, 3) Engineering by developing the way that fermenting food affect the environment through energy consumption or natural resource and 4) Mathematics through research where we will investigate students’ thoughts and knowledge on the impact of probiotics and cross-correlation with their alimentary behavior.* raise awareness among students about technology, health and nutrition topics, nutrition rules for a healthy life,* improve teachers' STEM pedagogy by innovating, sharing, discussing and comparing the methodologies* raise awareness of European citizenship and also European values * improve students' communication skills and other competencies such as language and digital skills, problem-solving skills, social and intercultural competences* embrace diversity, explore traditions in relation to food conservation and fermentation * introduce Project Based Learning and Life Skills Program

** surveys will be conducted about the consumption of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics at the beginning and at the end of the project.* presentations about our immune system and what can be done to boost immune system*interviews with nutritionists and doctors and they will record these interviews * a website with announcements, news, activities about our project* promotion materials * animations to make the subject intriguing for their peers, * posters and shoot videos, * role-plays, * science and biology experiments, food investigating and product testing, * food products preparation (kefir, yogurt, cheese, pickles, etc..).
