The project will promote healthy lifestyles through physical activities including sport and at the time will raise cultural awareness of participants. They'll learn about traditions and cultures of different countries. Taking into consideration the fact that not all knows about E+, through this project we want to address the youngsters with fewer opportunities to be involved and get to know the possibilities that they have. At the same time they stand as ambassadors of promoting Erasmus+ projects among their friends. During these 8 days the participants will share their culture and traditions, will discover the similarities and diversity of cultures presented on youth exchange project. The project takes an asset based, person centered approach to getting inactive people into sport, into healthy, active lifestyle and social inclusion. The project seeks to explore methods to remove barriers that exist for the least active people in partner countries in relation to participating in sport, physical activities. It hopes to initiate a change in culture whereby inactive people take small steps of being active in society, feeling encouraged to take part in sport and physical activity in an environment where they feel welcome and comfortable, and getting to know about healthy lifestyle. The project touches the main key Erasmus+ annual priorities -international cooperation -Social dialogue -more active participation in society -increased intercultural awareness -better awareness of the European project and the EU values It is more than important in small cities where no bridging activities as implemented for example by NGO's of local authorities. In these cases is significantly important that these youngsters will become active - will become physically and socially active and they will start to take steps to change the situation. Team building activities was one of the main tools of this education. A team sport was an activity in which a group of individuals, on the same team, work together to accomplish an ultimate goal. Outdoor activities and playful methods brought social, cultural and language barriers among youngsters and encourage them to work together. Moreover this Youth Exchange will foster mutual understanding between participants from different countries and will promote international cooperation. At the same time young people will get possibility to destroy existing stereotypes and improve communication between their countries. According to the aim to promote European cooperation and solidarity in the youth field, youth people will be stimulated by project to reflect on the essential character of EU
