The document summarizes a Comenius project between 7 schools across Europe from 2012-2014 focused on health and well-being. The participating schools were in Iceland, Italy, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Scotland, and Spain. Students and staff would visit the partner schools to work on cross-curricular activities and exchange cultural experiences over a 2 year period. Some key activities outlined included designing a logo, creating school websites and presentations, conducting surveys, and sharing work at the first meeting hosted in Italy. Pupil participation in shaping the project was also encouraged.
