O KOΣΜΟΣ ΠΟΥ ΘΕΛΩ ΝΑ ΖΗΣΩ: ΜΕ ΥΓΕΙΑ, ΑΘΛΗΣΗ ΚΑΙ ΠΟΛΙΤΙΣΜΟ
Start date: Aug 17, 2014, End date: Dec 1, 2014 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The program is designed and based on the new “Erasmus+” program’s vision, which seeks to promote intercultural action and continues youth mobilization programs. The goal includes: a) learning and adopting a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition and sports, and b) developing and improving music, theater and painting skills. The program will take place in October, in Cyprus. A total number of 65 participants will take place in this program, including young people with disabilities, young people with fewer opportunities as well as special staff and caregivers that will accompany them. The participants will come from the association “Agapi” and the Center “Melissa” (Association of Parents of Children with Special Needs, Corfu). The activities designed are based on the young people’s priorities and needs. These activities encompass a multidimensional approach, including ethical, social, cross-cultural and humanistic aspects. They are designed to develop these young people’s personality. The aim is to help them to develop a strong, dynamic and assertive personality that will give them the necessary assurance to continue to act constructively within the society and become a good example for future generations. Through the program we will employ such teaching techniques as “brain storming”, based on continuous cognitive empowerment through information and data; experiential techniques, in which we will try to implement previously learned data; peer instruction applied by both groups, as well as group cooperation. Through these learning methods we will obtain measurable data and results that will be recorded using self-assessments and peer assessments of the participants. Furthermore, the non - measurable data, such as positivity, cooperation, openness, self-esteem and other emotions, e.g. the enthusiasm for the project and its outcome, that will result from the experiential activities of the program will be used appropriately by the participants. In addition, the activities planned include a cultural aspect too. Dance, music, theater, painting and other activities aiming to promote a healthy lifestyle are added to the program as well. Both parties will benefit in a number of ways from the action, both as groups and every participant individually. On the one hand, this action will provide the two parties with more experience in the realization of an ambitious plan such as the present program. This will enable both parties to envision and complete other similar actions in the future as well. On the other hand, each member of the program will benefit individually in multiple ways. The participation in this program will contribute significantly to the development of a strong personality of young people with special needs. Additionally, it will provide special training, professional education and social skills needed for successful and independent life within the society. Thus, personal development will be beneficial for the whole group, since this experience will make every one of them a better and more active person, strengthening the effectiveness of the whole group.
