PROJECT
FINISHED
The Do sports, not posts! project is composed of two mobilities, a youth exchange that will take place in August in Venus and will focus on presenting past and present spring and summer sports from Romania, France, Spain, Slovakia and Croatia and an exchange to be held in December in Madaras-Harghita and will be principally engaged in presenting winter sports (outdoor and indoor) of the participating countries. The seasonal sports will be varied mainly because the participating countries are located in different parts of Europe (South-West, Central, East, South-East) and their climate, history, geographical features are different.The purpose of both mobilities is to identify positive aspects of practicing sport regularly, but also the negative effects of the excessive use of online tools and Internet, and to motivate the participants and target groups to move, exercise to maintain their physical and mental health .The first exchange will take part with 30 young people between 21-30 years and the second with 30 other youths between 14 and 18 years. In this way the issues addressed by the project will be discussed ifrom the point of view of two generations. Both mobilities will involve 10 youngsters with hearing disability: deaf or deaf-mute. Their inclusion in the exchanges will be facilitated by the presence of an interpreter from each country. In this context sport t will be regarded as a tool for connecting young deaf and those without hearing impairments. Communication between them will be also facilitated through the 20 minutes of daily sign language.During both youth exchanges will be conducted an awareness rising campaign on the importance of practicing sport which will consist of distributing flyers, posters and banners, presenting a sport flashmob and conversations with passersby. The campaign in Venus will be conducted among tourists from all over the country on the seaside and in the mobility of Madaras among tourists and locals from Miercurea Ciuc.During the mobilities the youngsters will get acquainted with the cultures of the other groups through the intercultural night and the national cultural nights during which they will present their country, personalities, traditions and customs.The personal development of young people will be assessed through the daily usie of My diary instrument. At the end of the mobility participants will receive detailed Youthpass which will contain the key competences they have developed. In these exchanges, youth will have the opportunity to develop communication mainly on foreign language (English and sign language), initiative and entrepreneurship, social and civic competences and positive awareness of other cultures.
