Healthin' UP!
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project will aim at promoting creative methodologies of training for youth leaders, youth workers, future trainers, students and volunteers in the field of healthy lifestyles through environment and sport activities considering them as the elements of active citizenship and building socio-cultural bridges. The training course is based on the principle that taking health care through environmnt and sports is instrumental in strengthening and enhancing civic behaviour and a feeling of belonging to a common European community which again leads to a reinforcement and empowerment of democracy in our civil society. The training course will be based on the principles and practise of non-formal education and it will be focused in a way to allow a learner-centred approach taking into account the needs, interests and the experiences of the participants. The project will take place in Reggio Calabria from 4th-11th March 2015 and it will involve 28 young participants coming from Italy, Poland, Georgia, Austria, Romania, Latvia, UK, Sweden, Arzebaijan, Ukraine, Armenia and Macedonia with high profile or interest in healthy lifestyle, environment, sports and non-formal education. The main objectives of the exchange are: 1. Underlining the view of health, environment and sports of local, regional or national cultural identity, thereby placing it at the centre of international exchanges of ideas, opinions and cultural expressions; 2. Exploring how large-scale such events can operate as tools for promoting European identity and youth participation through the use of best practices in the described fields; 3. Encouraging the broadest possible participation of the affiliated members in healthy lifestyles through environment and sport activities within and outside their organisation for a better social cohesion; 4. Encouraging the broadest possible participation of the affiliated members in sports and cultural activities within and outside their organisation. 5. Exchange the experiences of the participants and involve local, national and international stakeholders in the dynamics of the project in order to obtain a bigger visibility and result. Participants will be given the opportunity to share, discuss, learn about and develop new ideas within this field. Participants will be strongly encouraged to organise own projects after the training course as well as to transfer what they learned during the course to their respective groups/organisations. The activities will be held outdoors in order to allow a contact between participants and the environment; all the timetable will be based on different settings and places such as city center, mountains and seaside in order to allow young people to play the different techniques and best practices and to provide a basis for any territorial situation and different groups.
