Across this academic year the Global Learning Association is running a Turing Consortium project with five primary schools in Warrington and five primary schools in Denmark.
Our project, Linking Lives, focuses on Good Mental Health and Well-being, linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 3. Through exploring other cultural backgrounds pupils will learn how to manage their own health and well-being and get involved in social action to improve an aspect of their locality. We are using a model of five ways to well-being:
Connect
Take notice
Give
Keep learning
Be active
Schools are busy with Getting to Know you style activities and the UK children will visit their linked schools in May 2024. Exchanges will be based on activities from the British Council’s Schools Connect pack Mental Health and well-being: staying healthy and resilient, the books 'Be Your Own Superhero' by Dr Laura Meek and the 'What Makes me Happy?' Films produced by the Ragdoll Foundation. The Warrington schools will be learning how sustaining well-being, nurturing happiness and understanding our feelings feature in Danish schools and on their return the pupils will become Well-being Ambassadors in their own schools.
