SUCCESS strategy is to form a cross-border cooperation network supporting the educational institutions and sport organizations via development of new social infrastructures with sport facilities and an innovative physical education program. The created under SUCCESS international cooperation network aims at facilitating the formation of a healthy and stable environment for proper development of youth through sport. Another aspect of the Project plan is to link educational institutions with sport organizations into a partnership, in order to keep young people active after school. To create a better, healthier, more productive and competitive society in the border regions of Serbia and Bulgaria, it is important to raise healthier, social, well-educated and more capable children. Sport is vital for the development of young people, especially for those who have fewer opportunities in life. It helps to raise academic results of pupils and cultivates essential life and social skills, needed for career development.
Among the key abilities learned through sport are discipline and leadership, together with core principles like tolerance, teamwork, cooperation and respect. Sport teaches the value of effort and how to manage victory, as well as defeat. It helps empower individuals, improves self-esteem and is a natural draw for volunteer involvement, which further stimulates entrepreneurship. Sport fights also chronic health problems, which reduce quality of life and put individuals' lives at risk. Moreover, sport facilities and activities provide social inclusion and ensure equal opportunities for vulnerable groups of society, such as young people with disabilities, minorities, girls and youth representatives of the lower class. In order to increase the positive effects of the physical education in schools the present project proposes a partnership between educational institutions and sport organizations to extend active lifestyle beyond school classes. This will help build healthy activity habits for life among young people. |
