National sport events (Local activities)
National sport events were organized by each participating entity in the consortium in small urban or rural communities in their country. The events were moderated by the youth sport teachers and coaches who benefited from the training in the previous stage. Each organization implemented the national sport events, having 50 teenagers that participated for at least 1 day at the sport event.
Participants were selected based on their age (15-20 years old), background (coming from small towns) motivation/interest declared during the research stage or during the online campaigns announcing the sport events, previous involvement in youth dedicated projects/events (we prioritized participants who did not benefit from other opportunities or who were part of a disadvantaged group - social, economical, ethnic obstacles).
