Objectives

Many young people do not take serious responsibility of their own choices ignoring the impact of everyday actions and decisions on their future health and on the environment. In this Youth Exchange, participants will have the opportunity to take life-improving changes that can ameliorate their life taking future benefits properly into account and at the same time improve society environmentally-wise. Therefore, they will consider to start a better diet, quit smoking and doing regular physical activity. Moreover, participants will be challenged to get out of their comfort zone, get in touch with themselves through physical activities and mindfulness exercises. In addition, they will get information about current environmental problems coming from the socio-economic system, have time to reflect on the impact and importance of taking concreate actions to address this issue and also how becoming an active citizen can promote actual changes. As a result, they will become protagonists of their own life taking more conscious decisions in the everyday life. The final aim therefore is for them to become more sensitive to the topics of health and environmental sustainability and spread what is learned during the project to their peers. The objectives of our project are therefore: To empower participants to let them become conscious actors of their life To let participants become more environmental sensitive To give them the possibility to gain a clearer vision that includes more physical and psychological healthy as well as sustainable habits as a driver for future choices To spread the outcome of the project so that more young people can be reached out to foster a ripple effect To increase solidarity across borders, tolerance, intercultural understanding and dialogue amongst young people using cultural difference as a source of inspiration for participants To create a stronger network of organizations that can keep the partnership for future mobility programs To produce an inspiring outcome consisting in a video and/or presentation that can be used as dissemination material To reach a consistent number of people outside the project with targeted dissemination activities
