Background
Living standards and life expectancy in Europe have increased during the last decades. However, due to physical inactivity, poor diet, and nutrition, a healthy lifestyle's quality has decreased in the same period. Besides health damage, the current lifestyle followed by less physical activity decreases opportunities for socialization, networking, and cultural identity, supporting the social exclusion of youngsters. We decided to focus on promoting a healthy lifestyle, thus including excluded groups. Furthermore, we aimed to raise awareness and build the capacity of female and male youngsters from Poland, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Lithuania to utilize it better and promote it back to their communities.
