A New Step Towards a Healthy Future: Our “Step Up to Shape Up” Project Application is Complete!
If the project is successful, it will be implemented with contributions from the Czech National Agency and the European Union.
Our institution has completed the application process for the Erasmus+ Youth Exchange project titled “Step Up to Shape Up,” which aims to improve the quality of life for young people and bring healthy lifestyle habits to an international level. If the project is deemed eligible for grant support after the evaluation process, it will bring together young people from five different countries in the Czech Republic.
We Aim to Increase the “Well-being” Level of Young People
Our project, which focuses on the challenges faced by young people today, such as screen addiction, inactivity, and academic stress, is designed as an “improvement” initiative. With the submitted project, it is planned to lay the foundations of sustainable lifestyle habits with the participation of 35 young people from Turkey, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Portugal.
What Will Be Achieved If the Project is Approved?
If grant support is received, the planned activities aim to transform young people from passive observers into leaders of their own lives:
Time and Energy Management: Young people will develop strategies to balance the digital world with real life.
Nutrition and Emotional Balance: Workshops such as “Smart Kitchen Lab” will focus on healthy cooking culture and emotional resilience.
Reconnecting with Nature: The importance of physical activity as not just a sport, but also a stress management tool, will be emphasized.
Volunteerism Awareness: The contribution of providing social benefit to personal development will be experienced.
Strategic Partnerships and International Cooperation
The project design is structured to be hosted by the Czech Republic. Prepared in line with European youth strategies, this initiative aims to establish a “learning network” that, if successful, will empower young people not only physically but also culturally and socially.
How Will the Process Work?
Following evaluations by the National Agency, the grant status of the project will be finalized. Once the approval process is successful, the selection of participants and preparations for mobility will begin.
As an institution, we eagerly await the results of this project, which we prepared to help our young people develop themselves in the international arena and gain healthy lifestyle skills.
