About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The project will enable young people in European countries to come to our country and to make friends with the local youth in our club. Intercultural learning environment will be provided, prejudice between young people will be reduced, the love of cohabitation will be achieved by using sports as a tool. We want to support the enhancement of sports culture awareness by providing an environment where the individual can meet their own needs for achievement and become able to work with a team by gaining a sense of unity feelings. Children/youngsters' addiction to the devices will be reduced during the activities, and children will support to socialize with each other through sports, and thus, they will learn to control themselves and gain self-discipline. We aim to support the psychological&personal development of volunteers by let them gaining feelings and skills such as mutual understanding, solidarity, the ability to cooperate and maintain order within the activities.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
