Active &

2. The „Young, active and health” project was carried out in 2016 – 2018, in an
interdisciplinary partnership concluded by Student Sport Club Conrad (the
organization coordinating the course of the project), Genc Girisim Egitim
Genclik ve Spor Klubu Dernegi, NGO organizations, which carry out activities in
the field of general sport from Poland and Turkey, as well as the Physical
Education Universities from Gdańsk and Ankara. Accomplishment of the project
was aimed to build a cross-sectoral, Polish-Turkish net of cooperation in the
field of wotking with the youth and popularization of amateur sport in Poland
and Turkey. In the framework of carrying out the project partner organizations
from Poland and Turkey, in cooperation with partners from the NGO sector and
from University sector, have developed an innovative program of sport-
recreational classes with the elements of judo. This program contains a set of
various methods and techniques of working designated for conducting classes in
youth groups with diversified skill level.
Moreover, the developed program of classes refers to the development of soft
skills and basic volitional traits, such as skills of planning, setting goals,
persistance in pursuing a goal, competences of team-work, coping with stress
and emotions. The innovativeness of the program is based on adapting it to the
needs and possibilities of young people with diversified level of psychomotor
abilities, as well as showing the tools of motivating and supporting in regular
development of the body of the youth with lower agility potential. The program
was tested in 6 practicing groups (each of about 25 people). Altogether during
the time of the project about 1080 hours of test classes were conducted in both
Poland and Turkey.

3. Within the framework of carrying out the project three international meetings
were held, in which the total of 24 youth workers and leaders dealing with
development of local sport and youth environments from Gdańsk and Ankara took
part. The meetings were devoted to the exchange between Polish and Turkish
parties of experiences with working with the youth and mutual observation of
practices used by partner organizations and working together in interdisciplinary
teams to jointly create the program of classes, which in the future might be
implemented in both countries. The participants of the project meetings took part
in many study visits, including classes in the Physcical Education University in
Ankara, the Gdansk University of Physical Education and Sport, and UKS Conrad
Gdańsk.

7. PROGRAMME OF SPORT - RECREATIONAL CLASSES WITH ELEMENTS OF JUDO
Amateur judo classes from the scope of judo, as a pedagogical form should be seen as
a behavioral-educational system and a system of improvinf the physical abilities of the
youth. Regarding the current trends of "sitting lifestyle" and development of so called
civilizational diseases, such as: diabetes, spine curvature, acquired posture defects,
defects of sight and hearing, it especially important to build proper prohealthy and
proactive habits amongst the youth. This function, in our opinion will be fulfilled by
judo classes. People who train this sport dyscipline, are characterized by very good
physical abilities, knowledge of their own body and their abilities. The youth, which
take part in judo classes gradually start to think of it and treat it as a way of life. Judo
imposes the philosophy of thinking based on using balanced, stimulants free diet,
regular physical activity and regular improvement of one's body. This sport also teaches
self-dyscypline and persistance in endavouring a goal.
The innovation in the programme is adjuting it to the needs of people who have never
before trained any sport dyscipline, who have been living a sitting and little active
lifestyle. Thanks to implementing the supprting coaches into the classes,
individualization of the classes is made possible. Moreover, the difficulty can be
adjusted to possibilities of each participant, making them able to develop regurarly,
and visibly, which on the other hand increases motivation to having a healthy, active
lifestyle.
The main goals of the created programme are:
- supporting harmonious psycho-physical development of the youth by sport -
recreational classes with elements of judo.
- getting the youth interested in the impsed by judo philosphy of life, based on having
a balanced, stimulants free diet, regular physical activity and regular improvement of
one's body.
- completing and consolidating the knowlegde of the youth, essential to having aware
systemitic physical activity as a condition for having a healthy style of life and rational
care about vital readiness of organism to oppose the negative results of the civilization.
- implementing the youth into independent work to develop physically and care abot
proper physical agility.
- creating the need among the participants of permanent, independent work on their
health, physical agility, and, in the future, family
- achieving suitable (as for particular abilities of the members of the group) level of
motor agility, and gaining the skills to maintain it
- acheving the basic knowledge and abilities in the scope of judo techniques and tactics

with a special look at individual needs

and agression
