Objectives

The idea of the project got the approbation during the photography workshops that are held by the Polish association. The youngsters who are taking part in the workshops were really interested in photographing people, especially in poses and positions of the body that make you look slimmer. The discussion ended with a conclusion that all imperfections might be retouched in Photoshop but why should we do it? All agreed that we should work on our bodies first! The discussion was really lively and had been spread among not only school friends but also these international ones. Everyone had something to say. With a solution came French friends who highlighted the importance of the sport in a human life. They described a game they started playing and all agreed that this game could work out in convincing people (especially youngsters) to be more active as it is attractive and unusual but simple at the same time. We chose ‘Petanque’ as a sport in our project. This sport can be played for people at every age and can be applied very easily because Petanque does not require too much of talent. The project has following objectives: • to make the 35 participants aware of the importance of healthy and active lifestyle; • to make the 35 participants to develop actions which fight with obesity through organizing a campaign in Czersk; • to enable the 35 participants to use Petanque as a tool for actively spending time outdoor; • to increase self-empowerment and self-esteem of the youngsters.
