    """Erasmus+: Health Action Promoting the Physical, Emotional, Nutritional and Social"" (from now on Erasmus+:HAPPENS) was a project that was created with the intention of changing the view of different researchs and studies which state concepts like Early School Leaving (ESL fro now on) and Disadvantage (such as socio-economic, linguistic / learning challenges, poor health and mental issues) are noted in Primary School and affecting from that moment on. Many programmes designed to improve ESL were reactionary and deal the problem too late in the school career. Different investigations lead to the concept that one out of four people will undergo a mental / emotional health problem during their life.Following those and other analysis the objective of Erasmus+:HAPPENS project was to modifying these studies providing teachers, students and their families with tools in order to make them able to face possible mental, physical or nutritional issues, helping them secure a safe and valuable lifestyle. Our will was and will continue being to spread a new healthy attitude and style, a strong mind in a healthy body, not just to teachers and students, but to the local community and regional social services, making the target participants the bigger the better. We were six different partners in this project: Escola Martinet, the coordinator partner (Cornellà de Llobregat – Spain), St Nicholas NS (Galway – Ireland), Ysgol Gumraeg Bro Eirwg (Cardiff – UK), Istituto Comprensivo Alfonso Gatto (Salerno-Italy), Zespol Szkolno-Gimnazjalny nr.2 (Radomsko – Poland) and 11th primary School of Haidari (Athens – Greece). Being three countries from the north of Europe and three from the south also helped us to compare different roles, habits (such as food and dietary habits) among all the participating countries. For achieving the above targets the partner organisations arranged and coordinated together activities connected to the three main areas: mental health / emotional education / social health and wellbeing; physical fitness and exercise; nutrition / healthy eating / optimal sleep and rest. These activities followed different methodological approaches so they ensured a maximum number of students took part on them. Activities were adapted to different age groups and diversity, arranging different options for Special Needs students and other learners with difficulties. Apart from these activities, it became essential the participation of teachers from each school to the Learning Teaching Training Activities which were organised during four different weeks at diverse partners schools, and where all of them attended conferences, lectures, workshops conducted by experts from universities, NGOs, local voluntary organisations and specialists. These training sessions allowed participant teachers acquire a valuable knowledge that was shared with colleagues back at their schools in peer coach sessions. Then each partner organisation adapted that new expertise in activities to implement with students. All the resultant activities and studies were shared with families, local community and regional services through different vias: uploading information in the project website; writing reports; workshops and conferences open to the local areas and teachers network in general. With all that, the intention of the project was to arrive to the maximum number of individuals as possible. What the project pretended to improve was not just the partners organisations taking part in the project, but all their local communities, creating a network of expertise in Europe. All activities and results were shared in our project website, from which we are very proud to run: www.erasmusplushappens.com. It is a very clear website to navigate where visitors can find two different sections. The first one works like a blog space where we have published all activities undertaken by all partner schools at their countries. The second section is static and there visitors can access to different project information such as: Learning Teaching Training Activities programmes, activities, powerpoints from the different speeches; ready-to-use lesson plans at any school, e-books; project posters that can be download and use;... it is an open and free space open to everyone and our intention is to keep it that way for years to come. For all participants this project has been a complete success. We have improved and enriched our school curriculum with dynamic and great activities and actions that will endure in time. We have created links with local authorities and companies generating future collaboration. We consider this project as a seed, which has already given us significant results, but many more are yet to come."
