Summary

Objectives

"Make the active lifestyle great again!" was born after the successful implementation of the project "Again together for An active lifestyle” where we realised the need of bringing together young people, so they can learn about cultural similarities and differences, active lifestyle, and sport. It was a great success for our organisations, as we reached all our objectives and even beyond! We created a flawless working organisational team and partners. After the end of the exchange, we had many newborn ideas for future cooperation and implementing a follow-up of "Again together for an active lifestyle" was the most supported one by all participants and partners.

ISSUES AND NEEDS that were tackled and addressed by the project:

• Issue with the low physical activity by youth in Europe

• Need to break stereotypes, based on religion, culture, gender, etc. to be broken

• A low number of international opportunities for young persons to discover new cultures, traditions, habits, places, etc.

  even the closest ones;

• Need to remove prejudices amongst the cultures, based on what youngsters’ experience of those cultures in their home

  countries.

• Need to develop competencies among youngsters for enabling the partner organisations of international activities.

Objectives:

• To raise awareness of the importance of sports as a tool for personal development and social inclusion

• To help participants to understand the importance of healthy and active living

• To develop healthy habits and knowledge about health

• To exchange ideas and experiences between youngsters from different European countries on the use of sports for social inclusion - traditions, experiences, habits, exploring nature, through outdoor activities.

• To provide opportunities for young people with fewer opportunities to develop their skills and competences through sport in an intercultural environment.
