Brückenschlag: in balance
Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project "Building Bridges: in balance" consists of an international youth meeting in April 2016 and an international training for facilitators and youth workers in June 2016. Both activities aim to promote sport activities and a healthy lifestyle and make those more attractive to youngsters. The project puts a strong focus on gathering participants from disadvantaged background who rarely receive this kind of support from their social surroundings. The project topic stems from European political postulations, which put a high value on sport activities that not only improve the physical health but can also be a part of young peoples’ search for identity. This is why we emphasize the socio-cultural and interactive character of sports. This focus on sports will be built upon through workshops dealing with topics like healthy nutrition. With this we want the participants to understand how they can reach a balance between nutrition and sport. This balance enables them to live healthier and take an active part in the society. The international youth meeting will gather 40 young people ages 15 - 25 from Germany, Poland, Greece and Lithuania. The inclusive and diverse nature of the project allows access to youngsters with social, physical and emotional disabilities especially and gives them an active role. The participants will learn with and from each other, do sports together and get to know each other through a variety of activities during the week-long meeting. Due to the diverse nature of the project the participants will be exposed to people they would usually not meet in their everyday live. This experience furthers their social and intercultural competences. The training In balance will follow in June 2016. 20 facilitators of international and inclusive youth work from the four partner countries will be invited to get new knowledge in the field of sport and food pedagogy and to exchange knowledge and experiences from this fields. Former experiences from i.e. projects like "Building Bridges: in balance" can be disseminated by the partners and evaluated together.The training In balance will follow in June 2016. 20 facilitators of international and inclusive youth work from the four partner countries will be invited to get new knowlegde in the field of sport and food pedagogy and to exchange knowledge and experiences from this fields.
