Activity description

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.
