This project took place in Chania, Greece, lasting for 10 days. 48 young people from Greece, the Czech Republic, Turkey, and Bulgaria participated, along with 1 leader per country and two facilitators. The main focus was on sports and how to exercise in our environment while respecting it. The Venue for our Youth Exchange was a multi-events space and an environmentally friendly place by the sea. The program was scheduled from May 24th of May to June 4th, 2023. Considering that a lot of young people nowadays spent most of their time sitting, eating unhealthy, playing video games, drinking alcohol, and associating themselves with matters that did not offer them any substantial benefits in their personal lives but rather provoked anxiety, negative thoughts, drained their energy, and generally made them opt for an unhealthy and harmful lifestyle, we, as young people, wanted to bring others closer to nature. Our aim was to help them become more physically active and choose healthier and more wholesome ways of spending their time. Computers, TVs, consoles, and smartphones promoted a sedentary lifestyle. A regular teen schedule consisted of unlimited hours in front of a screen. Online apps such as FB, Instagram, Snapchat, and even TikTok replaced the simple walk to a friend's house and physical get-togethers. Teens who spent long periods of time online or playing video games replaced real interactions with friends or even activities like bicycling and hiking, which served as bonding exercises. Technology had both positive and negative effects on physical activity. Smartphones and computers contributed to sedentary behavior, but they could also be used to promote and encourage physical activity behaviors. There were numerous mobile apps that could help motivate individuals to increase their physical activity. Getting a pedometer or smartwatch could also provide motivation to achieve the recommended minimum of 10,000 steps a day, which helped maintain good body health and a strong heart. When fitness hadn’t been a valued aspect in a family's life, teens were less likely to put in effort or find motivation to exercise. Overweight teenagers or those feeling self-conscious about their physical capabilities were also less motivated to exercise. Some teens who faced body image issues might have felt embarrassed to exercise in public. Thus, many young people lacked the courage to start exercising due to feelings of incapability and fear of criticism. Youth were missing out on various health benefits, including a healthier heart, better mental health, improved cardiorespiratory fitness, strong bone structure and muscle mass, controlled weight, reduced anxiety and depression, and a lowered risk of developing health conditions such as heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis. Given that the lack of exercise led to numerous health issues, we aimed to implement a healthier and more active lifestyle. Environmental barriers, such as extreme weather conditions, limited parks or yards, and unsafe neighborhoods, were valid reasons young people stayed away from physical activity. By providing solutions and ideas for safer and more appealing environment options throughout the program, we aimed to give them a starting point for their health journey. Through the program, we tried to connect with the environment, learn how to exercise there, and at the same time, be respectful to nature. We hoped to change the ideology of the participants and show them the path toward a healthier lifestyle. Making simple choices each day could become a habit that increased their physical activity and improved their health. Incidental activity didn’t replace planned exercise, but all the activity they did during the day added up, and these two forms of activity could work together to increase their physical activity level. Considering the impact of COVID-19, the project also aimed to support participants in restarting healthier lives. The program also offered the opportunity to learn about recycling, upcycling, and composting. Physical activity required no special equipment or preparation. Participants could just stand up and move at any time they chose. The principle remained: something was better than nothing, and more was better than less. In conclusion, we took action on everyday problems concerning us, such as our health, and promoted cooperation through exercise among the participants.
