PROJECT DESCRIPTION

"NEW (MENU) - New Models of Movement and Nutrition Understanding" is a KA1 Youth
Exchange that aims to encourage young people of different cultures to adapt healthy lifestyles,
enhancing the role of nutrition education and of sport activity. The body accompanies us
throughout our entire life, so it is necessary to take good care of it. We are not just an empty body
case, but rather we are a complex twist of emotions and feelings which are in connection with the
body. When the body is healthy, when it feels good, it also contributes to the well-being of the
mind The exchange will stimulate young people on this issue and bring them to it emotionally and
cognitively. It will take place in Palermo (Sicily) from 20 November to 25 November 2017 (19
November arrival day, 26 November departure day) and will involve 24 participants from Italy,
Spain, France, and Romania.
The main aims of the project are to raise young people's awareness of the role and value of the
eating habits of young people from different cultural backgrounds and stimulate the sharing of the
best practices related to nutrition. Through these objectives, the participants will be more aware
of themselves, of their role in contemporary society for their own actions, of the EU values and
policies, they will be able to encourage a healthy lifestyle among young people and promote
health education through the “peer to peer learning”.
 They will have different cultural, social background, in order to obtain a non-homogenous group
and to facilitate a fruitful and stimulating peer-education. Participants may be activists,
volunteers, youth workers or youth interested in the subject of the project and motivated to live a
short mobility experience abroad and deal with people from different countries and cultures.

Our project will therefore encourage the acquirement of different knowledge, skills and
competencies as well as attitudes and behaviors, which are useful to contribute to their personal
growth. Young people will be able to discover the importance of cultural difference, mutual
understanding and peaceful exchange. Dialogue and debate will be the main elements of the
experience that young people will undertake. It will enhance the freedom of thought, diversity,
potential and creativity of the participants to make them active agents of social development and
change.
 The project is both a moment of self-analysis, a moment of non-formal learning and a starting
point for networking in order to stimulate future collaboration in the framework of Erasmus+
Programme, and to create conditions for the development of long-term partnerships.

                                                   ACTIVITIES

The working method is mainly based on the active participation of participants promoted through
non-formal and informal activities. It means that you will learn from each other, using your
different experiences and expressing freely your thoughts and opinions.
English is the main language of the project. However, we don’t want to discourage you to
participate if you feel that your level of English is not very high. The project staff may give you
