The main theme of our project was to show that an active lifestyle is a strong tool against all kinds of dependencies that young people can face (substance abuse, computer misuse, TV dependence, lack of physical activity, etc.). During the project we skied, skated, snowboarded and enjoyed all the activity that winter in Latvia has to offer. We spent great days learning from each other.

Another comment by the exchange team - these are very good and insightful principles. Next step is to put them into life. Here we have to ask ourselves concrete questions and give precise answers to them:
ü How many times a week do I exercise?
ü What healthy food do I eat? How much?
ü Do I know any techniques to avoid stress?
ü How and how often do I take care of my spiritual needs?
The exchange took place in a hilly and picturesque area in Latvia - Ergli and Jumurdas muiža. Here are some pictures from the exchange.
