Be Active, Beat Obesity Project: Encouraging Young People to Live a Healthy Life

In today's world where unhealthy eating habits and lack of physical activity are widespread, it is vital to educate our youth about physical activity, social awareness, healthy eating culture and obesity. For this reason, with the "Be Active, Beat Obesity Project", we aim to improve the quality of life of young people who will participate in the Erasmus+ Program in line with the goal of living a healthy and quality life, which is one of the Sustainable Development Goals. This is what we aim to achieve; *Raise awareness about the need for good nutrition, physical fitness and general health among young people from all over Europe *Raising awareness about how important it is to pay attention to the fact that an unhealthy lifestyle is harmful to one's health *Facilitating the exchange of information and ideas among young people involved in activities *To draw attention to the fact that obesity can also be caused by psychological problems and to informyoung people about this issue *To ensure that our young people have sufficient knowledge on how to live healthy lives, while encouraging them to be active agents of change within their communities and participants in shaping a better future for themselves and future generations *Contributing to a "Sustainable Europe" in the fields of nutrition, sport and health *To promote social inclusion and youth mobility. Within the scope of these goals, we will contribute to raising awareness about obesity by doing activities with young people from Latvia, Bulgaria and Malta for 5 days. In our activities, there will be professionals such as dieticians, psychologists and yoga experts who will provide information about obesity. Thus, while interacting with each other and establishing intercultural dialogue, they will make healthy living a principle and will be able to help their peers on issues such as healthy nutrition and the importance of doing sports.
