PROJECT
FINISHED
In the context of the continuing of the European Year of Citizens 2013 in 2014 – purposes are dedicated to the rights that come with EU citizenship, we – the INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS STUDENTS ORGANIZATION (OSIB), Bulgaria – would like to present you our new project:
“Health is wealth – EU health initiatives”
The concept of citizenship of the European Union, introduced by the Treaty of Maastricht in 1992, added a new political dimension to the hitherto primarily economic nature of European integration. Every person holding the nationality of an EU Member State is now also automatically a citizen of the European Union. EU citizenship does not replace national citizenship. Instead, it confers upon all EU citizens an additional set of rights, guaranteed by the EU Treaties, which lie at the heart of their everyday lives. One of the fundamental rights provided by EU is health protection. Taking into account these, with the current project we will try to define the role of the youngsters in this process. The participants in the project will share their thoughts, views and experience on the health topic, directly contributing to addressing the challenges and outlining the opportunities in front of the leading a healthy lifestyle.
The project is funded by the Erasmus Plus Programme, Key Action 1: Learning Mobility of Individuals - Mobility project for young people and youth workers.
Participants from 5 different European countries will meet together and take part in the various project activities. We plan a lot of ice-breakers, interesting workshops and debates, and sightseeing in the area. More specific, the indicative topics of the workshops will be as follows:
Workshop 1: "Food and Health - healthy/ dangerous"
Workshop 2: "Sports - pleasure or torture"
Workshop 3: "Health in the EU initiatives"
Workshop 4: "Healthy mind in healthy body"
Workshop 5: "University - solves or creates problems for a healthy lifestyle"
Workshop 6: "Caring Now - for health in the future"
Workshop 7: "Combating bad habits"
The activities will be carried out from 25.08 – 30.08.2014 (excluding travel) in Velingrad, Bulgaria. The area is one of the most beautiful parts of Bulgaria, very rich with interesting places to visit and amazing scenery! The focus group of the project is planned to be international and multicultural, and will unify approximately 30 participants from Bulgaria, France, Lithuania, Malta and Poland. They are going to be separated by their own interests in the field.
These are the following results, which are planned to be achieved through the project:
1. Database of the resources, which EU has in the field of health
2. Online guide, build on the good practices, which will be useful for the youth to lead an active and healthy life.
3. Analyzed needs, problems and perspectives of the young people for an active and healthy life.
4. Summarized and distributed quest results
The potential long-term benefits of the project are connected with the building of healthy habits, which are going to be helpful for the healthy way of life in the future – active aging. Through the distribution of the results of the quest and the online guide with the good practices of healthy way of life, the impact of the project will reach more people, which will receive knowledge and skills, how to overcome their own problems and to identify their own needs of a higher quality way of life.
