In Bulgaria young people practicing actively sports, in particular football, lose their motivation to do sport activities when reaching adolescence because, on one hand, they do not see any perspective to pursue a career as professional sportsmen and, on the other hand, modern technologies and meeting with friends come to the fore. In addition, those who make a decision to continue practicing sport rarely make a sport career abroad since they lack good sport training based on European best practices, as well as key competences such as communication in foreign languages, social skills, cultural awareness and learning to learn skills. In other words, with age children and adolescents turn from an active way of living into a sedentary one, which at later life may result in poor health, reduced social communication and demotivation to learn and develop. The project main aim is to exchange best practices between the two amateur sport clubs - FC ?Yantra 1919? and FC ?Swieqi United?, in particular between young people aged 13-17, in order to improve the motivation of Bulgarian youth to sustainably do sport and physical activities throughout their life. This will be implemented by means of the following specific objectives: ? To exchange knowledge and experience in football training (work-outs) and training methods and techniques for young people; ? To improve teamwork skills and cooperation with groups of different age, nationality, race, etc.; ? To increase the awareness of own culture, cultural diversity and intercultural differences in order to be ?tolerant? to and respect them; ? To build learning to learn skills by using the ?learning by doing? method; ? To improve communication in foreign languages, in particular in English, in real-life situations. The project will involve 48 youths, doing football as amateurs, from 3 age groups: 16 youths at the age of 13-14, 16 youths at the age of 15-16, and 16 youths at the age of 17-18.

Working out 4 maps in relation to the above workshops. ? Visiting cultural and historical places of interest. ? Watching a football match with a task set in advance. ?
