Sportering Youth

With this international youth exchange project organizers aim to get together youth from European and non-European countries and create place with pleasant, comfortable atmosphere, where participants can share experiences and in the conjunction of practical and theoretical activities learn more about healthy lifestyle. Leisure studies have stated that while active leisure involves a significant application of physical or mental energy, passive leisure does not. In this matter, it should be underlined that, according to European Youth Trend Report, that although approximately 45% of young people regularly go for a walk, biking or practice sports (physical energy), and that 25% regularly read (mental energy), the remaining important activities (such as regularly meeting friends, go dancing, go out to drink, to eat -40%, using the Internet and playing video games -21%, watching TV and listening to music -17%, and going to the cinema, theater or concerts- 16%) and this is growing year to year and youngsters are getting less caring about their health and their abilities connected with physical health is getting low.
