A sound mind in a healthy body!/Zdrav duh u zdravom tijelu!
Start date: Aug 2, 2014, End date: Apr 2, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Project A sound mind in a healthy body! is a multilateral youth exchange from Croatia, Spain, Poland, Italy and Greece. The exchange will be held from July 10 to July 18, 2014 in Duga Resa, Croatia. Thirty – five young people aged between 14 and 29 years participate in this exchange.Through workshops, discussions and practical field work during eight days spent in the heart of Croatia and surrounded by natural beauty, participants will be able to think about what does a healthy way of living mean for them, what is the role of sport and healthy eating in our lives and also how to preserve our health.They will also be able to discuss, compare and come up with a solution of many problems of young people in the field of sport and healthy diet and thereby reduce obesity, anorexia, addiction and other diseases and disorders which are consequences of unhealthy and abnormal lifestyle. The activities that will be implemented are based on sports, preparation and learning about healthy eating. Most of the activities will be outdoor activities so all the participants could spend as much time as possible in nature and fresh air. Thus, participants will go mountaineering, rafting and swimming in one of the cleanest and most beautiful Croatian river (Mrežnica river) and the Adriatic Sea. Each day, participants will have a morning exercise and learn about different sports. In the end of exchange we want all participants to be aware of healthy lifestyle and to gain sport skills so they could later transfer their knowledge to others in their local community. At the end of the exchange we want to give the participants an opportunity to think, decide and choose the way in which the physical activity and a healthy diet will be signposts to happier, more satisfied, healthier and more actively tomorrow. After returning to their home countries, after several weeks or months, they may decide to walk instead of take a bus, perhaps choose a bicycle instead a car, go on a picnic instead of a coffe, perhaps eat an apple instead of chocolate, drink water instead of coca cola or perhaps enroll in a sports club instead of playing computer games.
