Objectives

The main activity of the "Power of Healthy lifestyle" project was implemented in the period from August 9 - 18, 2022, with the aim - to identify existing and gain new knowledge about a healthy lifestyle and its principles, promoting the development of a healthy and active lifestyle in Gulbene, Latvia and in Europe, at the same time, giving the opportunity for young people from different European countries to meet, create intercultural dialogue, learn from each other, promote cooperation with other social groups, create new ideas and forms of action, to promote the development of a healthy lifestyle in Europe. In order to achieve the set goal, tasks for its achievement were defined together with partners: - to improve participants' knowledge and competence about a healthy lifestyle and its role in our lives; - promote and popularize a healthy lifestyle among young people and society; - identify existing motivators and find new ones in order to promote the development of a healthy lifestyle in Latvia and Europe; - promote tolerance and understanding of other cultures among young people and society; - to create an environment where each participant can feel free and motivated to try something new; - promote social inclusion by motivating more and more young people from different social groups to get involved in this type of projects; A total of 5 partner organisations from Latvia, Romania, Italy, Greece and Portugal participated in the project, bringing together 40 participants aged 16 to 18 and group leaders - youth workers. 10 great days were spent in the project, during which each of the participants, using the non-formal education approach, had the opportunity to learn, find out, improve and share knowledge and skills about a healthy lifestyle and its influencing factors. Despite the fact that for almost half of the participants, this was the first experience of participating in an international project, which, of course, was followed by stress, we believe that we have successfully achieved the goal set in the project and its tasks. Also stated by the participants, interest is still growing in the participants, to share their experience and motivate each other even after the implementation of the project.
