Objectives

The objectives of the project were to increase youths comprehension about the connection between mental/physical health and outdoor life. In todays society, social media has expanded extremly in a short period of time and studies shows that an excessive consuption of social media can have negative effects on both mental and physical health. We wanted to give the youth a chance to meet other youngsters with the same type of issues. The municipalities in Finland are small and the distances are long which can contribute to a large consumption and exposure of socal media. The consumption and exposure of social media has equally large impact on the youths from Sweden. With this project youth can have another approach to a social lifestyle, beyond the walls of social media and the project has a strong link to the understanding of social sustainability.
