<p><em>Health and safety is based on the choices that people make during lifetime. Each of us chooses to act safely or unsafely, healthy or unhealthy. Specific risk group is children and youngsters. Children and young people often have a desire to test their independence, build a personal identity and expand the social life, so young people often experiment also with different types of behavior. In the situations not favorable to health and safety children and young people behavior often do not comply with their knowledge of how to act. Human (human securitability is an internationally-known concept that characterizes human adaptability skills in a rapidly changing environment. Are distinguished 7 human securitability aspects: health, economic, personal (physical), ecological securitability, nutritional, community and political securitability. In the National development plan (NDP) 2020 strategy one of the priorities is human securitability provision. In our study, we analyzed the personal (physical) securitability of educational institutions. A person with a low sense of securitability feels threatened, does not want to use the opportunities of personal growth, trust others and cooperate with them at workplace and in collectives, does not want to participate in the state national development process, and therefore does not contribute to national growth. The pupils are able to learn successfully at school, develop their ability to form a personality only in an environment with a sustainable securitability. The pupil parents can successfully work and act only in the case they are absolutely certain about their children securitability at school, where they spend most of the working day: at schools, in after-school hobby groups, in sports trainings. Creating a safe environment at schools and being educated, growing and developing in this environment, the pupils form understanding of the necessity for a safe and healthy environment and its importance, and develop motivation to keep it for the needs of family, society and the public. </em></p><p><em>In strengthening securitability equally important is knowledge and skills to act in different situations. Researching education policy documents, the authors draw the conclusion that it is necessary on a state level to strengthen the securitability of each Latvian resident and the issues related to state securitability in educational institutions and society as a whole. Sports teacher can contribute to the promotion of pupil securitability, using the subject content as the means. Human securitability can be promoted by knowledge acquisition and skills development in securitability-oriented sports lesson.</em></p>

Observing the events and crises that occur around the world in schools, there is a question: Do schools in Poland, apart from the organizational, program and legal changes, consider creating and strengthening the safety of children and young people? Especially with the exposure of new threats that may appear, defined as terrorism. After the analysis, it can be concluded that Polish schools do not teach children how to behave in the event of a terrorist threat. Preparation depends on many factors, including mainly anti-terror awareness, which depends primarily on properly organized and conducted educational and legislative activity of the state. In the presented article, the authors distinguished and characterized (author's approach) a picture of contemporary school reality in the discussed area, especially legal - development - educational contexts in which changes should occur. In the legal area, the analysis included regulated provisions of the Act of 10 June 2016 on anti-terrorist activities (Journal of Laws of 2019, item 796), the Act of 1 March 2018 on counteracting money laundering and financing of terrorism (Journal of Laws of 2019, item 1115) and the Act of 26 April 2007 on crisis management (Journal of Laws of 2019, item 139) whether they may be applicable in the discussed issues. Bearing in mind that the safety of citizens, and thus of children and young people, is a timeless problem, it should be postulated that educational institutions in Poland should as soon as possible introduce new curricula for anti-terrorism prophylaxis into their curricula.

The COVID-19 crisis quickly led to the closure of educational institutions at all levels around the world, from one moment to another, millions of children and young people around the world were left without receiving their face-to-face classes, and many of them went through virtual classrooms framed in a phenomenon known as emergency remote teaching (ERT). This research sought to determine that well-designed and planned online learning experiences are significantly different from virtual courses offered online in response to this crisis, in order to identify what were the main areas of opportunity that learning in this emergency brought to teachers, students and educational institutions. A 12-item instrument was applied that was analyzed under a systematic random probability sampling, obtaining a sample of 49% of the population. The results made it possible to show the difficulties that arose, as well as the tools and platforms most used during the crisis in the institution of study in order to take advantage of knowledge to improve the learning experience of students.

Abstract.Currently the talent is the key word for any type of organization or institution. Supported by a change of mentality, which coincides with the entry of the century, the investigations begin to question the IQ (intelligence quotient) as the predominant factor in achieving social and professional success , going to defend the EQ (emotional quotient). Thus, we advocate processing in children and young people to equip them with differentiating competencies to develop talents. Outdoor Training, which places individuals in natural settings outside their comfort zone, has proved to be a methodology that enables better and faster learning than the traditional method. In this workshop we intend to demonstrate how socio-emotional skills can be worked in children and young people using this methodology. It will be developed four outdoor activities that allow participants to go through the experience and be able to assess the relevance and impact of this methodology. The workshop will be conduct with a maximum of 30 people, outdoor environment (off living classroom, on the grounds of the university). A team of researchers in the area of outdoor training and emotional intelligence will energized the workshop on the ground. The workshop will be evaluated through interviews and questionnaires of assessment.Keywords: Talent, Emotional Intelligence, Outdoor TrainingResumen.Actualmente el talento es palabra clave para cualquier tipo de organización e institución. Apoyados por un cambio de mentalidad, que coincide con la entrada del siglo XXI, las investigaciones comienzan a poner en duda el CI (coeficiente de inteligencia) como factor predominante para alcanzar éxito social y profesional, pasando a defender el CE (coeficiente emocional). Así, defendemos su perfeccionamiento en niños y jóvenes para dotarlos de competencias diferenciadoras y así poder desarrollar talentos.  El Outdoor Training, que coloca a los individuos en contextos naturales fuera de su zona de conforto, se ha mostrado como una metodología que permite mayor eficacia y rapidez de aprendizaje que el modelo tradicional. En este taller pretendemos demostrar cómo se pueden trabajar competencias socioemocionales en niños y jóvenes utilizando esta metodología. Iremos a desarrollar cuatro actividades de outdoor que permitan a los participantes pasar por la experiencia y así poder evaluar la pertinencia y el impacto de esta metodología. El taller será realizado con un máximo de 24 personas, en ambiente outdoor (fuera de sala de aula, en los jardines de la universidad). Un equipo de investigadores del área de outdoor training e inteligencia emocional irá a dinamizar el taller en el terreno. El taller será evaluado por medio de entrevistas y cuestionarios de apreciación.Palabras Clave: Talento, Inteligencia Emocional, Outdoor Training

AbstractThis study was carried out among undergraduate students at the University of Tuzla (Bosna and Herzegovina) with the objective of examining gender differences in the body mass index (BMI) and the level of Physical Activity (PA) among respondents.This study was conducted to: determine the body mass index (BMI) and the average weekly number of hours of sport activity in the last six months (PA). A research sample was made of female students (n = 330) in the chronological age of 19.3+1.5 yrs, 60.7%, and of male students (n = 213) in the chronological age of 20.0+1.8 yrs, 39.2%.On average, the students (both female and male) spend 5.60 (5.03) hours on physical activity per week. Female students spend 4.05 (4.32) hours, while male students dedicate 8.11 (5.30) hours to physical activities. It can be concluded that in principle the students practice physical activities and recreation, but still 1/5 of all students are inactive. The obtained results for the BMI show that the majority of students are in the zone of normal values: female - 278 (84.2%); male - 157 (73.7%). Correlations between BMI and PA amount to (R = .214; p < 0.01) and (R2 = .046; p < 0.01). The results of the T-test show a more significant statistical variable of differences between female and male students at the level of p < 0.05. In comparison to female students, male students have 2.35 kg/m2 higher BMI, and they are more active in physical activities for 4.06 hours in comparison to women.The focus should be directed to the education of young people, because they can easily adopt healthy habits that should be maintained for life. These results point out the necessity of an integrated approach to prevention and control of risk factors, particularly among youth.

AbstractSeneSTEM aims to bring Senegalese children and young people into contact with science, and – by extension – with the STEM disciplines (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) in a very accessible and illustrative way. We do this with concrete workshops and experiments, for both teachers and for groups of children and young people. In collaboration with different educational organisations in Senegal, among which the Senegalese Association for the Promotion of Astronomy, SeneSTEM ensures that all layers of the population are enthusiastic about science (education). Special attention is given to motivating girls for scientific careers. SeneSTEM actions are based on an international collaboration partly supported by development funds from the city of Antwerp and the University of Antwerp (Belgium).

Цель - выявление особенностей динамики показателей тотальных размеров тела у студентов с различными соматотипами в возрастном периоде 17-22 года. Материал и методы. Исследование проводили в течение 2010-2018 гг. по результатам проспективных наблюдений показателей тотальных размеров тела у 530 студентов (240 юношей и 290 девушек) 17-22 лет в период их обучения в вузе. Типы телосложения определяли по методу В. Г. Штефко и Б. А. Островского (1929) в изложении С. С. Дарской (1975). Результаты. Среди обследованных студентов у 49,2 % юношей выявлены приросты ДТ, завершившиеся в 21-22 года, и у 35,6 % девушек, продолжающиеся только до 19-20 лет. У большинства студентов за время обучения в вузе отмечены приросты показателей массы тела и окружности груди, при этом также выявлены юноши и девушки, у которых эти показатели не изменились или даже снизились за исследуемый период. На старших курсах у большинства студентов приросты массы тела и окружности груди замедляются с остановкой ростовых процессов, но не прекращаются и ведут к увеличению числа студентов с избыточной массой тела, что подтверждается возрастанием численности молодежи с дигестивным типом телосложения и высокими значениями показателей индекса массы тела (BMI), в большей степени выраженным среди юношей. У студентов с торакальным типом телосложения, который является самым распространенным и динамичным соматотипом в исследуемой выборке, отмечены значимые приросты тотальных размеров тела. Аналогичная динамичность приростов выявлена у юношей с мышечным телосложением. За время обучения в вузе численность молодежи с торакальным типом телосложения снижается, при этом возрастает доля студентов с мышечным и дигестивным соматотипами. За время обучения в вузе у 14,1 % студентов меняется тип телосложения. Выводы. Выявлена обусловленность приростов показателей тотальных размеров тела у юношей и девушек в возрастном периоде 17-22 года типом телосложения, оказывающем влияние на скорость и направленность динамики показателей длины и массы тела и окружности грудной клетки. Objective - to identify the characteristics of the dynamics of indicators of total body size in students aged 17-22 years with different somatotypes. Material and methods. The study was conducted during 2010-2018 and was based on the results of prospective observations of morphological indicators of 530 students (240 boys and 290 girls) aged 17-22 during the period of study at the university. Body types were determined by the method of V. G. Shtefko and B. A. Ostrovsky (1929) as presented by S. S. Darskaya (1975). Results. Among the examined students, an increase in body length (BL) was found in 49,2 % of young men, and in 35,6 % of girls; the height gain stopped by 21-22 years in boys and by 19-20 years in girls. The majority of students during their study at the university showed increases in body mass and chest circumference. Boys and girls who demonstrated no change or even a decrease in these indicators during the study period were also found. In most senior students, gains in body weight and chest circumferences slowed down when the height growth ceased, but did not stop. It led to an increase in the number of overweight students, which is confirmed by the increase in the number of young people with an alimentive body type and high BMI values, more pronounced among boys. Students with a thoracic body type, which was the most common and dynamic somatotype in the studied sample, showed significant gains in total body size. Similar growth dynamics was found in boys with muscular body type. During training at the university, the number of young people with thoracic body type decreased, while the proportion of students with muscular and alimentive somatotypes increased. During the period of study in high school, the body type changed in 14,1 % students. Conclusions. The dependency of gains in indicators of total body size among boys and girls aged 17-22 on body type was revealed. The body type influenced the speed and direction of the dynamics of indicators of body length, weight and chest circumference.
