LIVE IN BALANCE
Developing habits for a healthy & harmonious lifestyle training course

2. SUMMARY
The focus of “LIVE IN BALANCE: Developing habits for a healthy lifestyle training
course” is to increase awareness of the relationship between mind, body & spirit through a
combination of various techniques and activities that are designed to teach the core features of a
balanced lifestyle for youth workers, youngsters and anyone else who are interested in healthy
lifestyle & self-development. Our target group is young people from 6 countries who seek to
improve their daily habits in their personal and working environment. We offer workshops,
activities and techniques based on the notion of physical, mental and emotional connection to
build up and apply new habits that are essential to form a balanced lifestyle. The training course
is based on building a day-to-day habit to start the day devoting oneself a personal “power hour
“20min of exercise, 20 min of meditation and 20min of personal activities (reading/writing/etc
). The program consist of a repetitive establishment the “power hour” technique to help
youngsters build a habit to spend some time in self-awareness that can be implemented in their
daily lives. The “power hour” regime is the base of the training course taking place every day at
the same time constituting the core of the project to build the balance within oneself. Every day
after the core training the participants will have a schedule of different activities and workshops
through the week that are designed to teach and share the tools & best practices to establish a
healthy and balanced lifestyle with a combination of intercultural insights. The participants will
learn to define their values and strengths, will become aware of the most effective relaxation,
time management, stress management techniques, will develop interpersonal skills through group
activities and games and will have an assessment of a creative performance presented on for the
final evaluation of the project.
The project is mutually beneficial for the participants and the general public as it aims to build up
a set of skills that lead to establishing a network of people who share a healthy and successful
mindset. The training course is designed to promote Erasmus + mobility program and establish
strong partnerships with other organizations across Europe.
