Objectives

Young people nowadays tend to have lower performance at school and at work due to the lack of physical exercises. We thought that we can address this problem - practicing motoric skills could be an attractive and relatively easy to access way to stay active on daily basis, and it has an added value – practicing motoric skills improves memory, focus, self-control and other competences which translates into increased academic/at work performance (Special Eurobarometer 472 Report on Sport and physical activity). Project addressed our needs: -more than half of us did not exercise at all -we did not have open free facilities to exercise in 4 communities -we did not know how to stay active after graduation and without PA classes -some of us had trouble with focus, remembering things (educational difficulties), missing self-confidence -youth has low tolerance and understanding towards people with different (physical) abilities and diversity We set common goal which was achieved: Developed motoric skills of participants from 4 countries as a way to increase the level of their physical involvement in activities and presented motoric skills as a strong tool to support their focus, memory, concentration and self-confidence. Objectives which were reached O1. Familiarized participants from 4 countries with motoric skills as an alternative way to spend their free time in local communities and support their physical activity. O2. Raised social inclusion and understanding of participants form 4 countries by creating safe nonformal, non-competitive learning space where participants were able together to perform motoric skills. O3. Presented participants from 4 countries the advantages of motoric skills and how to use them as a strong asset for raising other competences like focus, memory, concentration, self-confidence and self-control.
