Training methods used & main activities

I have used mostly Salto tools as the best example of training in the sport. I tried to use as many of them as I could because next to doing sport our goal was to teach them about respect and understanding the others.
Our method was very simple and we working on the way that in the morning sessions we had thematic sessions where participants got knowledge about Erasmus+, about sport and statistics in the Europe and world. In the afternoon sessions we had different kind of sports and sport activities.

Outcomes of the activity

We achieve mostly of our goals and aims of the project were totally fulfilled. Participants on the end of the project organized 3 different games which we were presented in the sport hall in the downtown of Sofia. Participants learned reasons why we are using different kind of games and understand importance of tools which I was using.
