CHEERS

This project is an opportunity for youth, including people at risk of social exclusion, for integration through sport and culture with peers from other countries.
The main aim of the exchange project ‘CHEERS’ is to share knowledge, skills, and experiences with teachers and teenagers from the country involved. Health, sport and culture seems to be a really important factor, which may have a positive influence on the teenagers.
That is why we encourage young people to practise sport, lead an active life and develop culturally.
Besides, the aim of the project is to integrate students from different backgrounds, countries, and cultures through sport. We will try to show them how important physical activity is to a healthy lifestyle, and to emphasize that everyone has a right to be involved in sports activities, regardless of nationality, skin colour,ability, religion, or social status. The exchange students will have a chance to take part in competitions, matches, and other sports events. Moreover, the participants will have an opportunity to get to know more about the culture and history of the country they visit. As for teachers and instructors, they will exchange and compare methods of working with students in the field of sport and physical activity. Finally, both students and teachers will improve their language skills while communicating with each other.
We are looking for a school, an organization with young people aged 16-20, who we can visit for about one week and then organize their stay in our country.
The deadline for submitting the application is 20/1/2020.
