International Youth Exchange<\/strong>
\n \u201cGreat 4 MY Life!\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The main need and the general goal from which we developed the project \u201cGreat 4 MY Life\u201d, is to develop a lifestyle that is healthy, active, tolerant and involved.
\nThe specific objectives are:
\n1 Increasing the level of awareness to the importance of a healthy diet
\n2 Understanding the importance of interaction and communication in community
\n3 Understanding the benefits of using sport such as an instrument of social inclusion
\nYoungsters will develop basic competences of a lifestyle that is healthy, active, tolerant and involved and will have the possibilities to interact through the opportunities offered by the Erasmus+ program. The project will be based on informal and non-formal learning methods, will be participatory, experimental and will allow working in groups in interactive workshops.
\nYoungsters will have the opportunity to discuss and to understand the importance and necessity of their involvement on long term in the problems of a healthy lifestyle, to find and even implement practical solutions for improving quality of life. Youth will be introduced to examples of good practice and new diet habits, so they will understand that marginalization and stereotypes can be exceeded, they will make physical activities and will learn to work in mix international teams.
\nThe project wants to put an accent on finding ideas that are creative and innovative through realizing a video material and an electronic brochure (some of the tangible results will consist in \u201cGreat 4 My Life!\u201d photo album on social media, video testimonials for a healthy lifestyle, videos promoting a healthy lifestyle, ideas for a healthy lifestyle program and activities in your community) from which the participants intend to send a message to the community.<\/p>\n

Youngsters represent a very important target group, and the development of a lifestyle that is healthy, active, tolerant and involved is the most efficient method to maintain the healthy state on long term. At the\u00a0same time, based on the level of satisfaction, the state of health, optimism and self-confidence, these can mark their future.<\/p>\n

Preparation activities:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

All teams are required to come to Brasov with a preliminary work (according to the ERASMUS+ criteria). The content and “style” of the presentation (10-15 minutes) are left to the discretion of each national team.
\nWe will ask to each national group to collect and present information and statistics about:
\n\uf0fc Which is the percentage of overweight young people (18-30 years) in your country? How does it show gender statistics?
\n\uf0fc This percentage increase or decrease during the last 20 years? How?
\n\uf0fc Which is the percentage of sedentary young people (18-30 years) in your country?
\n\uf0fc What are the culinary habits in your country?
\n\uf0fc What comprises a regular menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner?
\n\uf0fc Is there a relationship between food junk and obesity among the young people?
\n\uf0fc What are the reasons, in your opinion, that lead to these results? Please explain the answer.
\n\uf0fc There are NGO\/institutions that promote healthy lifestyle and sport activities for youngsters? How do they this? (examples)
\n\uf0fc Is there a relationship between NGOs, young people and a healthy lifestyle in your country? Please explain the answer.
\n\uf0fc What kind of outdoor activities are usually practiced by young people in your country?
\n\uf0fc What new sporting activities would you like to try in your country?
\nIn addition to contributions related to the theme of the exchange, each group will have to select a series of games to propose during the exchange (specific national games).<\/p>\n

Intercultural night:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We usually dedicate two nights to the intercultural evening presentation.
\nWhat we expect from you to present in these nights are: local or national dances, local music, games, little sweets, drinks, pictures, etc. from your countries.
\nEvery country will prepare a short presentation of their culture, using all kinds of methods. It’s preferred a short and FUNNY presentation, such as showing pictures and commenting it, quiz, short video (either already existing or made by you), etc. (YES – use your creativity!). For the intercultural night, we ask you to prepare in advance a brief performance (singing, your traditional music, popular dances) to present your group (typical costumes are really welcomed!).
\nThe main idea of this presentation is: What is important for a stranger to know about my country?
\nAny kind of presentation is granted, better not to do a power-point presentation to avoid yawning.
\nThe Intercultural night is the \u201cmost wanted event\u201d on the beginning of the youth exchange. It is a sort of traditional night opened to all participant audience made up of our group leaders, youth workers, facilitators, participants to the exchange. All National groups are asked to perform briefly (10 for your NGO and country\/city not more, and 10 min for traditional dances and music) in order to introduce their self. Certainly, we need your enthusiasm and energy!!
\nFor the Intercultural evening a Swedish buffet (cold buffet) will be organized. Here every country will bring traditional food dishes. The food that will be brought must be eatable without any processing (boiling, frying, etc). The dishes must also be accompanied by a brief description (their origin and ingredients, the way they are eaten\u2026)<\/p>\n
