2-8/11/2015- Training course "SOAP II 2015 - Sports, Outdoor Activities and Participation" (Kakopetria village in the Troodos region , Cyprus)

Sports is a very attractive activity for many young people. It is fun to do, brings you together with friends and is healthy for your body and spirit. Sports is not only about winning of competition. Sports can bring people together and help individuals to learn.

In the SOAP II training, we will explore the power of sports, the possibilities it brings to attract young people and learn to use it as an educational tool. We will use the extraordinary setting and land-scape of the Troodos region of Cyprus to merge outdoor learning with the power of sports. In the training, we will spend time outdoors, do sports, talk about sports, and learn about sports and its effects on participation, inclusion and other societal issues.

Aims of the training course:
• Form new networks: to bring sport organisations from European countries together and to increase co-operation with experienced youth organisations
• Make use of the power of sports: to use sport as an educational tool in international youth projects
• In- and Outdoor: to make use of the environment through outdoor learning and activities
