Objectives

"Reach your peak" was a two-stage project that aimed to promote a healthy lifestyle among youth workers, trainers, and leaders coming from the EU and EECA region. The project aimed to activate the youth society through engagement in a healthy lifestyle, outdoor activities, sustainability of resources and environment and to provide the tools for further dissemination of these values in their local communities. The training course was based on non-formal education principles and was prepared by qualified trainers, to share the maximum of their experience in that field, in order to help participants to use gained knowledge and practical skills in activities, which helped throughout the project. Outdoor activities are becoming increasingly important and valuable in the field of youth. Finally, our project encouraged European and extra-European cooperation among different associations, empowered youth engagement in society, and promoted good practices to develop the well-being of both local and international communities. The common desire to promote a healthy lifestyle came from an increasing desire to promote outdoor activities for a young generation's physical and emotional health. The main objectives of the project were: - To raise awareness about outdoor health-promoting activities and healthy lifestyle and to show participants how to disseminate the gained knowledge among the youth; - To give participants the opportunity to experience the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and outdoor activities, make changes in their everyday lives and see the results on their health by themselves; - To deepen participant’s appreciation of the environment and commitment to work for sustainability and at the same time understand nature in a different way and began to reflect on the unnecessary damage being done to the environment by the technologies we enjoy; - To put participants in a natural environment where they can gain knowledge of local culture and share their own culture at the same time; - To give participants the opportunity to practice outdoor activities and use open space for creativity and self-development; - To empower youth workers and trainers to cover this topic in their target group and during other projects; - To give participants the opportunity to work together as a group, encourage cooperation, put differences aside and be equal in the team while establishing strong bonds
