Teenage is a period when young people are usually more open to information about subjects that can improve their lifestyle. Nowadays, there are certain diseases that mostly affect teenagers because they are exposed to some practices that can affect their health like drug or alcohol consuming. This is the reason why our project is addressed to young people who are interested in being informed about these specific diseases and the main preventing methods. Thereby, the purpose of the project "Promoting Healthy Life Among Young People" is to prevent these diseases through information.
According to 2012 EU Youth Report teenagers from low-income families are more affected by diseases and less informed about prevention methods. (aici o sa mai includem detalii despre Romania si tara pe care o sa o alegem ca partener).

The project has the following specific objectives:
- Informing 24 young participants aged 18-30 from Romania and Italy about the most common diseases among teenagers;
