Dear Possible Partner, In the framework of the European Commission open call for proposals Not-for-Profit European sport events, Romanian NGO Mod of Life is planning the project Amateur Olympic Games. More information about the project idea can be found bellow, or in attachments... Lack of physical activities, physical education and sport in schools, civic apathy and lack of democratic skills and interest for the common good ( if everyone smokes, why can not I do it, If it’s easier to drive , why should I walk ?) are leading to environmental degradation in which we live and grow. People in our society, and especially young people, do not care enough to their health , do not understand the importance to make physical exercises and are not aware of their importance to their lives, to increase their level of life and achieving standards high . Young people need to realize and understand this issue and begin to take responsibility for it. Because its easier to develop than to change mentalities, Association „Mode of Life” from Drobeta Turnu Severin believes that through the activities and projects designed and led by youth, participants will be taught by experience what it means to be a better and responsible citizen, serving their interests and especially the interest of the community to which they belong. Each of us, as a community representative, has the power and duty to influence the education of the young generation and the solution lies in the awareness of young people in our society and the important role they have in the form of physical exercise of races and competitions are fun and entertaining, so in an organized (competitions) and leisure time (holidays). AMATEUR OLYMPIC GAMES project is the result of the initiative of a group of 10 young people from six associates, aged between 15 and 40 years, who has, over the years, participated in various sporting activities in order to attract young people to move and to give people of all age opportunities to increase their quality of life through sports. In this context, our project aims to promote active and responsible attitude and training to the phenomenon of movement and sport in general. The target group is over 500 people aged over 18 years.
