Objectives

By implementing this project we wanted to achieve larger involvement of youngsters in various physical activities during their free time. We wanted to attract attention to the fact that there is a situation when physical activities or their lack have negative impact on integration of youngsters with fewer opportunities and special needs into society, because this limits their interaction and socialization with other youngsters. We think that physical activities encourage youngsters to become diligent, to achieve their goals and be ready for competition, thus minimizing risk of their self isolation. Also, we want to point out the sphysical activities both as a way to spend free time and to serve as an instrument for inclusion that promotes intercultural dialogue and integration of youngsters with fewer opportunities or special needs into society. The main aim of the project is to involve youngsters into physical activities and to encourage them to use outdoor physical activities and sport as an alternative to inactive lifestyle and computer games. Objectives of the project: 1. To attract young people to sport and physical activities through non-formal learning; 2. To promote the importance of sport and physical activities for the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities; 3. To promote social inclusion through sport and physical activities; 4. To promote intercultural learning with physical activities as an approach; 5. To improve youngsters' social skills and creative expression through physical activities.
