With this activity, we aimed to offer both ESNers and Erasmus+ students the opportunity to spend time in nature and by the beach. However, our main goal was even bigger: we wanted to reduce the stress everyone experiences in their academic and professional lives through nature and physical activities on the beach, making a positive contribution to their mental health. Additionally, through these physical activities, we aimed to foster a sense of unity and reduce stigma.
Since our event took place at Riva Beach, we arranged transportation there for easy access. After arriving in Riva, we started with the activities we had planned in advance. Some of these activities included playing Twister, Jenga, rowing, and paddle boating. Afterward, we all prepared our meals together and got ready for a BBQ party where we enjoyed our food. Before the day ended, we made sure to enjoy the beach and played volleyball as well. After benefiting from these physical activities that contributed positively to our mental and physical health, we returned home using the transportation we had arranged.
