Friendship through orienteering
ERASMUS+ project
OBJECTIVES
The project aims to facilitate the formation of genuine friendships among participants from diverse backgrounds. By engaging in sports activities and collaborative projects, participants have the opportunity to bond and establish meaningful relationships, both within the group and with members of the local community.
Through participation in sports-based activities, young people have the chance to develop essential soft skills such as communication, teamwork, leadership, and conflict resolution. These skills are not only valuable in sports but also in various aspects of life, including academics, careers, and personal relationships.
By immersing participants in the unique culture and traditions, the project promotes cultural understanding, appreciation, and respect. Through exposure to local sports, games, and customs, participants gain insight into different ways of life and develop a broader perspective on cultural diversity.
Engaging in sports activities not only promotes physical health and fitness but also contributes to overall mental well-being. Through outdoor exploration and physical challenges, participants have the opportunity to rejuvenate their minds and bodies, promoting holistic wellness and self-care.
