Between May 26–30, 2025, the final transnational meeting of our Erasmus+ project took place in Radom, Poland, hosted by our partner school Publiczna Szkoła Podstawowa Nr. 9 im. H. Sienkiewicza. The event brought together delegations of teachers and students from Romania, Croatia, and Turkey, marking the culmination of two years of collaborative work on promoting healthy lifestyles and responsible ecological behavior.
The main objectives of this final mobility were to consolidate the competencies developed during the project, to evaluate the progress made by participants, and to celebrate European cooperation through intercultural and experiential learning. The agenda included structured workshops, cultural presentations, field visits, and interactive activities that encouraged the exchange of good practices and strengthened the sense of belonging to a united European educational community.
The first day opened with presentations of the partner schools, highlighting their national cultures, traditions, tourist attractions, and culinary heritage. These activities enhanced communication skills and intercultural understanding among participants. The pedagogical session included the workshop “Calendar of Health Habits Challenges”, which promoted reflection on healthy routines. Students then explored the city through a “treasure hunt,” which concluded with an official visit to the Radom City Hall, where they met the Deputy Mayor and learned about civic engagement and local governance.
Experiential learning continued with a visit to the “Wsi Radomskiej” Ethnographic Museum, where students discovered the richness of Polish rural traditions. A culinary workshop allowed participants to put healthy eating principles into practice by preparing traditional bread and butter from organic local ingredients. Practical, hands-on activities such as grinding grain, washing fabrics in the traditional way, and spinning hemp fibers deepened their understanding of sustainability and craftsmanship.
The second day focused on the environment and physical activity. Students and teachers enjoyed a walk through the Jedlnia Letnisko forest, where they studied local flora and fauna and discussed the importance of biodiversity and conservation. Team sports competitions organized in the same area promoted an active, healthy lifestyle and teamwork.
On the third day, the group took part in a documentary study visit to Cracow and the Wieliczka Salt Mine, exploring landmarks such as the Old Town Square, St. Mary’s Church, and Wawel Castle. Participants were deeply impressed by the salt mine’s underground chapels, sculptures, and cathedral carved from salt, and reflected on the responsible use of natural resources for sustainable economic development.
The fourth day combined environmental action and research. Students planted trees in the school park and participated in sports events at Park Rozrywki & Kocham Skakać – Radom. During the joint workshop with the host school, teachers and students conducted a study on quality of life, selective waste collection, and the promotion of environmentally responsible behavior.
The final day was dedicated to celebration and reflection. Participants enjoyed a festive cultural event featuring traditional Polish music and dances, together with students and parents from the host community. In a joyful and friendly atmosphere, certificates of participation were awarded, marking the conclusion of an unforgettable educational and cultural experience.
The mobility in Radom represented an important milestone in the project, reinforcing students’ and teachers’ commitment to a healthy lifestyle, ecological awareness, and active European citizenship — values that will continue to guide our partner schools in the years to come.
