Description
Implementing a project that develops inclusive education and child well-being education is particularly important now for 2 reasons. Firstly, there is a need to increase physical activity among children and young people - to prevent civilization diseases e.g. caused by lack of movement. Poor health is one of the causes of social exclusion.
Secondly, the prolonged period of online learning, is also not conducive to high physical activity and at the same time contributes to the social isolation of students.
During the pandemic, children and young people''s learning is based on activities delivered via the Internet. Most students had very limited direct contact with school, teachers and peers for a year. Schools and the Board of Education are warning that several thousand students have "dropped out" of the education system altogether due to lack of equipment, limited access to the Internet (in the early stages of the pandemic) and lack of motivation, mental problems and poor learning conditions at home [https://edukacja.dziennik.pl/aktualnosci/artykuly/8018009,dzieci-znikaja-system-nauczania-edukacja-nauka-koronawirus-pandemia.html].
