With this project, we aimed to make studies that include understanding the importance and strength of sports, adopting life-long sports philosophy, recognizing and promoting exemplary athletes representing values, developing self-confidence and self-expression skills, increasing their healthy social relationships, and managing their energies correctly.

We created this e-book to introduce the athletes of the project member countries.

Ar šo projektu mēs domājām veikt pētījumus, kas ietver izpratni par sporta nozīmi un izturību, dzīves sporta filozofijas pieņemšanu, priekšzīmīgu sportistu atpazīšanu un reklamēšanu, kuri pārstāv vērtības, kā arī attīstīt pašapziņu un pašizpausmes prasmes, vairot viņu veselīgās sociālās attiecības un pareizi pārvaldīt enerģiju.

Mēs izveidojām šo e-grāmatu, lai iepazīstinātu ar projekta dalībvalstu sportistiem.

Bu layihə ilə idmanın əhəmiyyətini və gücünü dərk etməyi, ömür boyu idman fəlsəfəsini mənimsəməyi, dəyərləri təmsil edən nümunəvi idmançıların tanınması və təbliğini, özünə inam və özünü ifadə etmə bacarıqlarını inkişaf etdirməyi, sağlam sosial əlaqələrini artırmağı və enerjilərini düzgün idarə etməyi özündə cəmləşdirən araşdırmalar aparmağı hədəflədik.

Bu elektron kitabı layihəyə üzv ölkələrin idmançılarını tanıtmaq üçün yaratdıq.

Con este proyecto, buscamos realizar estudios que incluyan comprender la importancia y la fuerza del deporte, adoptar la filosofía deportiva de por vida, reconocer y promover atletas ejemplares que representen valores, desarrollar habilidades de autoconfianza y autoexpresión, aumentar sus relaciones sociales saludables y administrar sus energías correctamente.

Creamos este libro electrónico para presentar a los atletas de los países miembros del proyecto.

Bu proje ile öğrencilerimizin sporun önemini ve gücünü anlamalarını, yaşam boyu spor felsefesini benimsemelerini, sporla kazanılacak değerlerin farkında olmaları amacıyla değerleri temsil eden örnek sporcuları tanıması ve tanıtmasını,özgüven ve kendini ifade yeteneklerinin gelişmesini, sağlıklı sosyal ilişkilerini arttırmasını, enerjilerini doğru yönetmelerini içeren çalışmalar yapmayı amaçladık. Bu e-kitabı da projeye ortak ülkelerin sporcularını tanıtmak için oluşturduk.
