	Restricted area dedicated to the compilation of the food diary by the student. In a specific section, the student will also be able to inspect the "The Guide to the Mediterranean Diet".
	A public area where the classes of participating students compete in the healthiest challenge of the school year. In a specific section, each student will have to upload the minutes of his daily physical activity. The computer system, based on the data entered, will match the results of all students belonging to the same class, by calculating a daily "Healthy Index". Weekly, the most healthy class, the one that has achieved the highest "Healthy Index" average in the seven days, will be decreed. Students will also be able to see the results of the other competing classes on a daily basis, thereby stimulating the challenge. At the end of quarter round competition, the winning class, namely the group of students who have won the most number of weekly challenges, will be decreed. The winning class will be awarded at the European Schools' Gala that will take place on April 7th, 2019 (World Health Day of World Health Organization - WHO).
