Held in Bansko, Bulgaria, Alternativi International ran a local wellness day for young people and educators inspired by the Sicily training. The aim was to show how sport, nutrition, and inclusion are connected.
Breaking Barriers Through Movement
Youth explored how small health-related habits can help reduce isolation, especially among those from marginalized backgrounds.
Workshop Goals
- Raise awareness about healthy routines and nutrition.
- Use physical activity to build trust and confidence.
- Create inclusive wellness spaces for all youth.
Key Activities
- Nutrition Quiz – Teams tested their knowledge of healthy food myths and facts.
- Active Circles – Group fitness and stretching activities focused on fun and accessibility.
- Story Round – Participants shared personal journeys related to health and inclusion.
Participant Reflections
"Today I felt included just by being part of a team. That was more important than any workout."
Outputs and Legacy
The team developed a “Wellness Wall” mural with affirmations and nutrition facts for display in the youth center.
