About the Jnepenii Project

Currently, young people are attracted to a wide range of sedentary activities, with harmful effects in the medium and long term. Computer games, television, frequenting bars and discos, parties are just some of the main activities of young people during this period.

Due to the lack of educational activities, teenagers start consuming alcoholic beverages, drugs, smoking, quitting when they go out in nature. Over time, all this, as well as the lack of sports activities will make them prone to various diseases.

Through the actions proposed by this project, we will offer young people a healthy alternative for spending their free time, involving them in sports-cultural-ecological actions organized at national level. At the same time, the team spirit and belonging to the group will be developed, promoting an attitude of respect for the environment.

Because the future depends on how we educate young people, it is very important for teenagers to understand the role of a healthy natural environment and sports in their lives.
