But, many actions and projects were carried out continuously from January to March. Through our planned activities, we wanted to show students, parents and residents how stress works in our brain and how the medical, biological and psychological aspects work closely together during stressful situations. Already in January, we planned the recording of the film, by 20 reported schools from all over Poland on the subject of “Healthy ways to fight stress.” Later all the films were put together in a single movie that we published and shared. At the beginning of February, we also announced two competitions for students from all over Poland. Competition, for a multimedia presentation on the subject of “Healthy ways to fight stress” and the poster “Stop for drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and afterburners.” All sent presentations were posted on educational portals and pages for students and teachers, and posters were also used to prepare an exhibition that was opened to all interested residents of the Konin County.
