“Sport, youth and nature” project gathers 42 participants from 8 countries (Romania, Greece, Hungary, Cyprus, Poland, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Spain) and the activities will be implemented in Malaga, Spain.
During the project, sport and nature will be the proper tools for the development of the European Union values, intercultural dialogue and the appreciation of diversity.
The activities will include visiting cities like Malaga and Granada, workshops on different themes like intercultural, inter-generational, sports (towards the development of health and sport for all, using conventional and unconventional sports, hiking etc.), visits to monuments and museums representing culture: Albaicin in Granada, Alhambra in Granada, Picasso Museum. There will be activities which require team work.
During workshops, participants will develop a greater awareness of the importance of sports in people’s life and respecting the nature. This project will enable participants to demonstrate their countries' culture and also the involvement of youth in sport activities by using presentations and exhibitions.
