ABOUT THE PROJECT
This project addresses the rising mental and physical health challenges among young people, exacerbated by insufficient physical activity, particularly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We firmly believe that regular physical activity serves as a protective measure against mental and physical health problems. Thus, this project is geared towards heightening awareness about the crucial role of consistent physical activity among youth. We aspire to make physical activity more appealing and accessible, especially for those with fewer opportunities, thereby encouraging and empowering young individuals to embrace an active lifestyle. Simultaneously, we aim to inspire and train youth workers to integrate physical activity into their work, fostering a holistic approach to well-being.
In this project we are working on designing and implementing an innovative online platform aimed at inspiring and supporting both youth and youth workers in integrating physical activity into the everyday lives of the youth community. Moreover, we will produce User Guides that offer clear and practical instructions for the effective implementation of the platform, catering to both youth workers and the youth audience. Finally we will be conducting training sessions for youth workers to adeptly integrate the online platform and regular physical activity into their counseling initiatives for young individuals.
