Project Objectives:

The BILSF project outlines the following main objectives:

• To increase physical activity among more than 500 socially disadvantaged and

  institutionalized youngsters.

• To build light sports facilities in institutional care centers located in five cities across

  Bulgaria.

• To develop, test, and implement a Soft Program Training Manual designed to enhance

  the usability of the newly constructed light sports facilities.

The Soft Program Training Manual

This manual is poised to bring about a transformative impact by focusing on the numerous benefits of physical activity, which include improvements in physical and mental health, social inclusion, and the development of essential transversal skills such as problem-solving, effective communication, and teamwork. The manual will serve as an educational resource, raising awareness about the benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle. It will teach young individuals how to engage in sports, both individually and within groups, using the newly

installed light sports facilities.
