Swim - Challenge The Stream

The multilateral youth exchange Swim – Challenge the Stream took place from 13th to 20th July 2014 in Kostanjevica na Krki and its local surroundings which served as an inspiration for its active sport oriented main topic with the River Krka as the main venue.

The main activities of the youth exchange encompassed canoeing, hiking, beach volleyball and other outdoor sports activities together with workshops and activities connected with the environment preservation, sustainable river ecosystem management and workshop on appropriate individual approaches towards better nature protection. Within the youth exchange project we encouraged youngsters to share different sports activities in the natural environment for quality leisure time of youth.

During the youth exchange a special emphasis had been given on discovering different ways to activate one in order to become an active European citizen through getting to know different Youth in Action programme activities, which enable young people to actively participate in society (voluntary work, influencing policies, initiating their own project etc.).

The overall goal of the project was to contribute to the promotion of healthy lifestyles in the implementation of outdoor sports activities in the context of amateur sport and social inclusion and active participation of young people through different Youth in Action programme activities.
