Project Youth Olympics of Health

Sport and healthy lifestyle is essential for everyone. In the 21^st century an individual has everything to follow a healthy lifestyle, take up sport and forget bad habits (drugs, smoking, alcohol, junk food) which hinders his/her physical and mental development. 

As the result of the partnership between Caucasus International University and Lithuanian organization “mokymosi idejos” Caucasus International University has announced a competition to participate in a project funded by Erasmus+. The above mentioned project (Youth Olympics of Health) aims at promoting healthy lifestyle among the youth and raising awareness in relation to this issue.

Project trainings were held in Vranov and Prague, Czech Republic (19.07-26.07). Three candidates have been selected from 21 contestants as the result of the interview with the head of the organization. Caucasus International University and its partner organization (“mokymosi idejos”) gave opportunity to students to go to Czech Republic in order to participate in this interesting project.

During the training 42 participants (Georgia, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Greece, Turkey, Spain, Italy, and Bulgaria) were divided into groups. We did interesting tasks, had presentations on the topic: Racism and Xenophobia in Sports. We made a short theatrical performance, which aimed at showing the negative impact of drugs on an individual and society. In addition, we made video clips on the same topic. There were many incentive games and competitions. Every evening we had an opportunity to taste traditional cuisine of different countries.

I must admit that it has been a great experience for me. I received a lot of information concerning healthy lifestyle, acquired new friends, improved my English fluency and became familiar with cultures of various countries.

I would like to express my gratitude towards my university and “mokimosi idejos” for giving me an opportunity to demonstrate myself, Georgia, university and the sending organization.
