Problem of young people’s insufficient physical activity and healthy life style is increasing. Because of that we want to motivate young people to be actively included in healthy life style through promotion of outdoor activities and amateur sport as ways of promoting healthy life styles and supporting social inclusion and active participation of young people in society.
With this project, we want to offer young people a range of activities they can practice to maintain condition and body weight. We also want that participants afterward in their local communities share good results and support for socially excluded and marginalized person, start activities that interests them, activities that are fun, not to difficult and hazardous to perform. With inclusion in society, they will gain confidence, and provide support to others to join the active social life of community.
