October is World Walking Month. This is what "every step counts" looks like round here 👣

Turns out you don't need to chase 10,000 steps to see the benefit. A 2024 study found that around 4,000 to 4,500 steps a day, however you get there, is enough to lower your risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death.

Strut it. Stomp it. Stroll it. However you move, it counts.

Today is World Mental Health Day! 💙

Mental health and well-being are the foundation for learning, growing and reaching our full potential.

Remember:

🫂 Everyone matters: we all deserves learning environments and communities where we feel safe, respected and supported. From anti-bullying measures to inclusive classrooms, well-being starts with the conditions we create together.

🏃‍➡️ Movement helps: Being active releases dopamine and other chemicals in the brain that boost mood, sharpen concentration and improve sleep. Just 150-300 minutes of activity a week can lower depression risk by 29% and anxiety by 20%.

From safe schools to active lifestyles, building well-being is a shared responsibility.

Walk to work, swim or dance the day away - your way today! 🤸

One example is ‘Kids Build Their Knowledge Through STEAM’, an Erasmus+ project helping preschool children develop literacy, digital, creativity and problem-solving skills through hands-on learning, while giving teachers innovative methods and tools to support them.

It shows how Erasmus+ can help build the knowledge, skills and confidences people need from the very beginning of their learning journey.

Next week, projects like this and the skills they help build, will be at the heart of , whose theme this year is "Learning and growing: skills for tomorrow."
