Youth exchange “Sport connects you(th)” just finished!

Today we would like to share with you more news about the second activity of Erasmus+ project “Sport connects you(th)” youth exchange which happened previous week in Trakai 🇱🇹 and gathered 35 participants from Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Greece, Italy and Serbia🌍

During 7-days of activities participants gained knowledge how to use sports and physical activity as tools for increasing active participation and inclusion of young people (especially with fewer opportunities), also, raised their knowledge and gained new experiences about sport and outdoor activities as tools of social integration and education of youngsters.

Additionally, participants had a chance to improve their competences in organizing quality youth sport activities and events which involved other youth from Trakai Vytautas Magnus gymnasium. During the visit in gymnasium participants practiced games with youth aiming to promote inclusion through sports which were developed during the first activity of this project – Training Course that happened a month before.

After wonderful week in Lithuania participants got back home motivated to apply their competences in sport activities which aims to integrate youth, foster intercultural dialogue and promote sports.

We would like to say big thank you to all participants and hope to see you in the future projects!
