Objectives

We built this project around this topic of health. We named the project "Health for European Youth" in which we combined the innovative spirit of non-formal education with the medical science and education of youth about health and built healthy habits among the young people as well as motivated them to become these healthy lifestyle ambassadors to their peers. During the youth exchange, 40 young people from 5 different European countries gathered and exchanged on this very important topic. These young people were able to broaden their knowledge on many topics related to health, but also, afterward to transfer their knowledge in the places, where they live and to become healthy lifestyle ambassadors. Addictions, infection, diseases of modern time and numerous food and health issues young people face nowadays were discussed via interactive games, team works, simulation games, presentations. This project was interesting from one more perspective, its European dimension. Participating in this project participants learnt, but they also brought knowledge and experiences from their home countries. They had the opportunity to prepare their own practical activity and presented health tips to the other participants, their friends, and their families. All of these segments brought out the intercultural dimension, but they also touch young people how to become responsible and active European citizens.
