Food is tasty, time is short and exercise is hard” mentality exists in more students and adults all over the world. From inquiries conducted in our schools, whose results we implemented in the application, we found out that reasons, why students are not reaching the recommendations of 60 minutes per day of physical activity, are the lack of places where to be active, someone, a friend to be active with, and lack of time. Covid pandemic brought other difficulties and barriers to our lifestyles, one of them being social distancing. Before the pandemic students were active by participating in sport club activities or playing team games. Nowadays, things are harder and as a consequence, the amount of physically active time in a day has been reduced significantly for all. Another issue we want to solve with this project is the low levels of active participation of students in school activities. There is a need in all six schools for increasing the capacity of teachers to motivate, mentor and help students to learn by reflection, to have agency, to be capable of acting by themselves to make plans, carry out actions, make an informed decision based on their knowledge, and be flexible in changing times. There are certain life skills and pedagogical strategies, which are best learned, acquired, and applied through non-formal, extracurricular activities, and afterward embedded into the curriculum. The third need identified in all schools, from all six countries involved in the project, is a low level of active participation in the life of communities. We can help students discover the ways in which they can take action and improve the community, respecting principles of sustainable development, through service learning campaigns.
