Objectives

The project addressed the negative effects of the pandemic on both the environment and people's mental and physical health. By organizing outdoor activities and online training, the project sought to foster environmental awareness, promote socialization through sports, and highlight the issue of climate change. It emphasized bringing together students from different countries to share experiences, tackle common challenges like anxiety and isolation, and engage in activities that build confidence and leadership. The project also aimed to create a broader European vision by exposing participants to new cultures and promoting sustainable development goals through environmental campaigns. Our project was designed to not only tackle the immediate psychological challenges posed by the pandemic but also to install a sense of responsibility and awareness about environmental conservation. By fostering resilience through physical activity and community engagement, we equipped our students with the tools they need to navigate both individual and collective challenges, ultimately creating a more informed and resilient generation.

Background

Applying for the project was driven by a combination of factors. All humanity was put to the test due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It has profoundly transformed lifestyles around the globe, leading to numerous challenges that span economic, psychological, social, and environmental domains. To survive the disease we had to isolate ourselves from each other, we had no chance but to stop doing sports, especially those team ones. We decided to do this project due to reasons such as loneliness, depression, low motivation, and cutting off communication with the environment, which we observed on our students during the pandemic period. In our project, we aimed to minimize the damage caused by the pandemic to both human beings and the environment. We did this project to create environmental awareness in order to leave a cleaner and liveable world to next generations, while socializing our students with outdoor activities and helping them regain their mental as well as physically health.
