Objectives

he European Week of Sport aims to address the growing problem of physical inactivity and unhealthy eating habits among young people. Due to the digital world, increased screen time, and a performance-oriented sports culture, for many young people, physical activity has recently become a stressful task rather than a communal experience, while healthy eating has taken a back seat. Disadvantaged youth, in particular, have limited opportunities to participate in sports activities or health-conscious programs. Our project aims to provide young people with an experiential and community-based approach to active living, the joy of sport, and healthy eating. Participants will present traditional sports games from their own countries, try low-threshold ETS games, and carry out a joint cultural cooking session, experiencing cooperation, inclusion, and the cultural diversity of a healthy lifestyle. During the project, young people will design and implement a mini BeActive Day at a local farm for their community, which will strengthen their initiative, organizational and communication skills, and sense of social responsibility. Through non-formal learning, sport, and communal cooking, every participant can actively engage, gain a sense of achievement, and be motivated in the long term to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. The main objectives of the project are: To promote an active and healthy lifestyle in an experiential and inclusive way. To develop young people's key competences: initiative, cooperation, and civic responsibility. To foster inclusion and community-building through sport and cultural activities. To convey the values of EU sports policy and the #BeActive initiative. To encourage participants to become active ambassadors of a healthy lifestyle within their local communities.
