Greater Opportunities Through Exercise And Movement!
Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Looking at the world we live in, our daily life is changing. Our need for technology in our life is bigger and yet the benefit that brings us makes us forget our basic needs. We want to make our environment a more suitable place; we want to save the world by big grand gestures, but we forget to change our lives for the better. We have improved the life expectancy of people, but we have forgotten the other principles of a healthy life. A life in which sport is a daily routine, in which eating healthy doesn’t mean spending more money, in which preventing disease means buying more expensive pills. We, Evolution Association, together with our partners from 6 countries, have decided to take a stand, to remind young people of what was once general knowledge and common behavior, to empower and to make young people responsible of their own well-being. Our project “Greater Opportunities Through Exercise and Movement” will be a youth exchange that will bring together 42 young people coming from 7 countries in Europe (Romania, Slovakia, Lithuania, Croatia, Spain, Greece and Serbia), for a period of 8 days of activity, days in which we will explore the benefits of a healthier life style, the benefits of sports in our daily life and the steps that all of us need to do for taking better care of ourselves. We hope that our project will serve as the starting point for the people directly involved in the development of the project, to teach them the importance of teamwork, of communication with people coming from different backgrounds and to inspire them towards a more active role in their local communities.Through our project “Greater Opportunities through Exercise and Movement”, we want to focus on 3 important aspects for the participants in this project and the beneficiaries of our partner organizations:- The benefits of sporting activities towards a healthier lifestyle;- The importance that nutrition has on our bodies and minds;- The measures that need to be taken to prevent health problems.Objectives:a) To create an environment to sustain healthy collaboration between the 42 participants coming from 7 countries, for the duration of the project.b) To develop teamwork among the 42 participants through sporting activities for the duration of the youth exchange.c) To promote the benefits of active lifestyle and nutrition to the 42 participants coming from the partner countries during the implementation stage of the project.d) To share the benefits of Erasmus+ projects with the local communities through the public events scheduled in all the stages of the project.e) To promote the cultures and traditions through the 42 participants coming from the partner countries during the implementation stage of the project.When it comes to the objectives sought out by the Erasmus + programme, we consider our project will respond to this one key object : Promote voluntary activities in sport, together with social inclusion, equal opportunities and awareness of the importance of health-enhancing physical activity, through increased participation in, and equal access to sport for all.
