This is a reference for Mateusz Górecki
So we would like for our project to visualize young people that sport is not only important aspect of a healthy and conscious life, but also adequate nutrition. These two issues form an integral whole, which is a healthy lifestyle that teaches discipline and respect, even to themselves. We also want to pay attention to appearing more and more often the problem of discrimination and exclusion from social life obese people. Implementation of the project we want to build on the pillars of mutual understanding, support and respect for others. We want participants to realize that sport and a healthy lifestyle plays in their life role, particularly in the fight against social exclusion, how much developing our ambitions, motivates you to take action and initiatives in every aspect of life, teaches tolerance, openness, sense understanding and encouraged to assist another human being. The skills and knowledge gained in the project to enable young people to start their adult life, a sense of security and confidence, control over their bodies (physically and emotionally), and also easier to find their place in the labor market.
The participants of this project are: young people of Poland, Turkey and Italy, along with the leaders. Each group will consist of 10 participants and 2 youth leaders. During the talks with our partners we have analyzed the potential participants of the project. We found that both on our side and the partners, there is a large group of young people at risk of exclusion, and which through its participation in the activities may be activated by and inspired to additional actions. In our group, more than half of the participants are in a different situation from the other. These are mainly people from impoverished areas, agriculture and located in a relatively large distance from major urban centers. In addition come the socio-economic obstacles. Some people come from broken or single-parent families with many children from areas with high unemployment. Several people have health problems. All our participants are in the age group 18-25 years. The main criterion for selection of youth was primarily their willingness to act and participate in our project, strong motivation (motivation to change both themselves and their environment) and interest in the subject project.
- Games integration, which will aim to break the ice between participants and to integrate them into one, a good team;
- Workshops that will help us navigate economic and social issues, teach us to promote sport and a healthy lifestyle; the workshops will use discussions, multimedia presentations, maps of thought, meetings with experts and so on.
- Sporting activities that will have the task, among others, to teach young people healthy competition, determination, reconciliation with failures, but also control over their bodies;
- Classes in small groups, international, randomized matched so that everyone has the opportunity to cooperate with each other during the exchange,
- Group evaluation, which will serve the summary of each day. As part of the youth groups will exchange insights, reflections and remarks;
- International mornings that will allow us to open up to other cultures, learn the habits prevailing in other environments and to obtain extremely valuable information about other countries. It will also provide an excellent opportunity to promote your country and debunking myths and stereotypes;
- Movie nights, where we will show films about famous and lesser-known athletes / people related to the business, which managed to reach the goal and achieve success. After the film evenings will be a time of reflection and summary.
We intend to leverage our expertise in promoting the results of the project, sharing our experiences and results of our work, not only within the partner groups, but also with representatives of local communities in the regions from which we come. Measures aimed at the dissemination and exploitation of results planned immediately after the exchange. Each of the participating groups, post on their websites, fanpage'ach relationship with the project. After the end of we create summarizing our actions, and to indicate the results of the newsletter that we will send to our friends, members of the organization and the organizations supporting us. We will liaise with the local media to share our common success and acquired knowledge. Each of the partners will organize in your community photo exhibitions, promoting a healthy lifestyle. We will liaise with the department of sports in our city's Office in order to organize special workshops that promote healthy and active lifestyles in schools in our area. The participants realized that sport and a healthy lifestyle plays in their life role, particularly in the fight against social exclusion, how much developing our ambitions, motivates you to take action and initiatives in every aspect of life, teaches tolerance, openness, a sense of understanding and encourages to render assistance to another person.
