For some members of our group, exercise and sport are central to their lives. Our Association organises many sporting and exercise events (usually running events or football matches), in which we regularly take part, and sometimes we also help to organise them. Despite the fairly large number of participants in these events, we have noticed a pattern: it is usually the same people who take part – both young people and adults. Despite promoting the events on Facebook, in schools, or by word of mouth, we are unable to attract many new people. We decided this was a problem, as it is not difficult to get people who are already active into sport, but it would be great if those who have not previously taken part in sports started attending our events. We decided that, as a group, we wanted to look for ways and methods to get more young people involved in our sporting events (we left the issue of adults to our supervisors from the Association). For us, sport is something fun, something that allows us to spend our free time in an interesting way, something that brings joy, and also allows us to spend time with friends, and this is precisely how we would like to encourage our peers to be physically active. When talking to the supervisors at our Association, we realised that adults view the issue of sport and physical activity among young people quite differently – the problems include low attendance at PE lessons (frequent sick notes), an increase in poor posture, and obesity among young people, etc. It turned out that the issue of low physical activity is far more complex than we thought, and we, as young people, view this issue quite differently. That is why, on the one hand, we wanted to explore the problem – what causes our peers’ reluctance to be active – and, on the other hand, to look for solutions on how to encourage them to engage in regular sporting activity or lead a healthy lifestyle. As our organisation had previously been involved in Erasmus projects, our supervisors suggested that we might discuss these issues within a larger, international group, so as to gain a broader perspective and seek solutions together with peers from another country. And so the idea for the exchange was born. We chose an organisation from Latvia as our partner, with whom our supervisors were already in contact. The young people involved there get their exercise through dancing, which is also an interesting example for us, showing that sport isn’t the only way to be physically active. After talking to the group from Latvia, we also learnt that fewer and fewer people were signing up for their classes, but thanks to ideas from the exchange, they managed to introduce solutions within their organisation that encouraged more people to sign up for dance classes. What we wanted to achieve through this project was: - to identify the causes of low levels of physical activity among young people, or in other words, their reluctance towards sport and exercise, - to develop solutions that would encourage our peers to engage in physical activity and lead a healthy lifestyle, - to share our sporting interests with our peers from Latvia and learn about their interests in this area, - to learn about Latvian culture and present our Polish culture during two evening events and through spending time together, shared meals, etc. - develop language skills (English) through daily conversations in English throughout the duration of the exchange.
