About the project topic:
The project will be held in Omegna (Italy) and will be aimed to address the issue of Inclusion through
Sports. 36 young people and leaders fromΓGREECE, Italy, France, Spain and Lithuania will spend together 9 days to
experience different sports.
The project will use sport not only as just a physical activity but as a tool which can help young people to practice healthy lifestyles and, above all, to teach valuable life skills and help with an individual's personal empowerment process. The project will give priority to the inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities, with special regard to people with cultural and learning difficulties (especially Neets). Based on playing, experiencing and discussing together, the project will foster a culture of tolerance among young people with fewer opportunities by making them learn, work and communicate together in an international
context. The project will also be aimed to connecting sports to stress management and equal opportunities issues via different techniques, such as relaxation, meditation. By mean of the final event we want to raise awareness of the benefits of sports as a means of inclusion among young people with fewer opportunities.
