Sport and Inclusion for an Healthy Lifestyle

"Sport and Inclusion for an Healthy Lifestyle" is a youth exchange whose main aim is to promote healthy behaviors for all in an inclusive perspective of sport.
The results of the last survey by the Eurobarometer on Sport and Physical activity, reports that the 59% of the European citizens declared to never practice physical exercise or sport or practice it just a little.

The project originates from the will to experience and promote an inclusive dimension of sport able to overcome the physical and cultural barriers and to stimulate cooperation between European oungsters.
Participants will deepen topics as healthy lifestyle and healthy eating and will experience some possibilities of inclusive sports, they will compare the attitude toward sport and physical exercise in their home Countries and the possibilities to practice sport for all; in this way they will became able to raise social awareness about the importance of an healthy lifestyle and to spread the practice of inclusive sports, while disseminating the European values of equality, non discrimination, tolerance and solidarity, acting as active citizens and promoting the international cooperation and exchange of good practices.
 In particular the participants will manage and implement the following activities:
- the implementation of round-tables, debates and group discussion activities  on the project and the themes of healthy lifestyle, healthy eating, sport and physical activity among the participants and with the occasional participation of athletes (able-bodied and disabled), personal trainers and a dietician
- workshops for the exploration of inclusive sports that can be played together by disabled and able bodied people
- practical open-air sport activities
- workshop on planning and realization of a video-spot to be disseminated on web to raise social awareness on the importance of physical activity for all
- creation of photo competition on the theme of well-being
- workshop on the creation of a special booklet that will resume project’s history, purposes and results
The methodology applied will be entirely based on the peer education, an inclusive approach and learning by doing ensuring the active participation of each participant through the work in groups and the task division. The participants will cooperate in the decision making process creating a “work in progress” course of the project.
