This is a Seminar with the title “Europe in good shape” that will be hosted in Berkovitsa, Bulgaria, in October 2014, gathering together 36 youth workers, youth leaders, activists and volunteers from 14 partner organizations belonging to European Union and South East Europe: Bulgaria, FYR Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Kosovo, Turkey, Montenegro, Hungary, Poland, Albania.
The Seminar will focus on healthy lifestyles in Europe and the influence of its promotion on young people’s life and behavior in our societies. Sedentary lifestyles, addictions, unhealthy nutrition and disease, remain one of the most salient problems in today's Europe, in particular in those regions that are beyond EU legislation and regulations, but not lacking problems in countries of modern Europe. The objectives of the Seminar are:
- To provide space and time for youth organizations working on healthy life issues among youth and healthy lifestyles both in Programme Countries and South East Europe (SEE) to present their work,
- To exchange examples of good practice,
- To focus on the debate of the state of health in different realities of Europe,
- To explore different techniques as a means of promotion of positives of healthy lifestyles,
- To foster future cooperation and young people’s involvement in the process of creation of better approaches towards youth,
- To reflect on issues of health insurance policies and equality programmes of the European Union.
The Seminar looks towards improvement of the quality of support systems for activities aimed at the empowerment of young people in matters concerning health. Moreover, this Seminar will focus on chances and opportunities for intercultural dialogue, opportunities for future transnational cooperation and joint activities.
Using non-formal educational methods, participants will be involved in team building activities, plenary discussions, debates, round tables and exercises done individually or in groups, brainstorming and analyses.
