PROJECT PRESENTATION
Developing healthy eating habits isn’t as confusing or as restrictive as many people imagine and good nutrition is essential for children to grow properly, do their best in school and be healthy and happy in the future. So, schools must take a 'whole school approach' to all the food and drink that is provided and consumed both in school and outside. Schools have long been considered a primary target to deliver nutrition education. Along with the role of schools in providing education in general, school children are at the phase of life when they are acquiring habits that will last a lifetime; and children are an important link between school and home and community. So, we designed a number of activities to create awareness to the snacks around us, to point out the harmful effects of them, share our knowledge about local substitutes to these unhealthy snacks, and disseminate our experience using various digital tools

„Snack Trackers” is definetly a collaborative etwinning project, involving the students lead by teachers for creating our own research and sharing analysis reports about students` daily snacks. They have presenting the results with partners and mixing the tasks for the project and finally creating an e-book for guiding and the second e-book with exemples of traditional and healthy snacks for youngsters. Pedagogical methods are focused on developing the skills for researching and studying by their own, to be aware and to start an action for a daily healthy living, good for body and mind.
During thematic researches the students are improving knowledges in class or at home. The project has practical activity about celebrations: Healthy Day 16 october , Nutritien Day 7th April, Etwinning and Europe Celebration Day-9th of May, as events for project. The obtained results are presented in different ways using web-tools technics which present the work they have done and exchanging knowledges and cultures aspects regarding recipes, meals, healthy Snacks alternative, procedure to cook/prepare and also comparing their work. The project has a good teachers bulletin to follow and the Latest Updates space for announcing every new step. The project included surveys for students and teachers about satisfaction regarding project.
Project is integrated in Food Technology Domain -Technological Curriculum Area-12th grade- which is students` specific domain of study- Biochemistry subject. But the targets are also enriching knowledges from other disciplines which are: chemistry, nutrition, biology, personal hygiene, creativity, English language, IT tools, discipline of life behaviour.
