Analyses conducted at the European Union level indicate that mental health challenges among young people are significantly increasing. According to EU Commission data, approximately 20% of the youth population experiences various mental health problems. According to UNICEF analyses, it is estimated that 13% of young people aged 19 and under suffer from mental health problems. This situation stands out as a structural problem that threatens the well-being of young people not only at the individual level but also at the societal level. In Turkey, the young population holds significant potential both demographically and socioeconomically: According to TÜİK (Turkish Statistical Institute) data, the young population in Turkey constitutes approximately 15.1% of the total population. Furthermore, the youth unemployment rate hovers around 20%, a situation considered a significant risk factor, particularly in terms of "future anxiety" and psychological distress. Today, young people face significant challenges in their personal and social development. Increasing peer bullying, increasing anxieties about the future, and difficulties in communicating effectively with their peers are among the most significant problems faced by adolescents. This can lead to a lack of self-confidence, social isolation, and a weakening of psychological well-being in young people. The 13-17 age group, in particular, is at a critical time when peer relationships most significantly impact identity and behavior. Observations in the school environment indicate that peer bullying is becoming increasingly visible, both in person and digital environments. School surveys, guidance counseling service observations, and participation rates in sports activities clearly demonstrate that students need support in this area. Furthermore, reports prepared by the guidance department have observed an increase in peer bullying cases in recent years. At Istanbul Prof. Faik Somer Sports High School, students, despite receiving professional sports training, experience difficulties in social communication and peer relationships. Therefore, this project offers a significant opportunity to support not only their athletic success but also their social and psychological development. This problem is a common problem for young people not only in Turkey but also across Europe. Sharing experiences between young people from different countries in an international environment will have a stronger impact on developing solutions. Sports are one of the most effective tools for addressing these issues. Sports instill values such as teamwork, fair play, discipline, empathy, and responsibility in young people in a safe and constructive environment. Through sports, young people build stronger bonds with their peers, improve their communication skills, and learn to manage stress and anxiety in healthy ways. Sports also promote inclusivity, providing equal participation opportunities for young people from diverse backgrounds. Indeed, literature has shown that moderate-intensity physical activity, performed three or more times a week, significantly reduces depression, anxiety, and stress levels in young people and increases self-esteem and social adaptability.

Our Project Goals: * Enabling young people to communicate more effectively with their peers through sports. * Raising awareness of peer bullying and developing solutions. * Strengthening young people's ability to cope with future anxiety and stress through sports. * Supporting the development of young people's resilience, self-confidence, teamwork skills, as well as their mental health capacities (stress management, psychological resilience, social connectedness). * Encouraging dialogue and collaboration among young people from different cultures through the universal language of sports.
