Abstract

Physical activity in youth can help promote healthy physical and mental development, as well as maintaining an active
lifestyle in adulthood. An alarming trend is that more and more generation Z children prefer to search for entertainment on the
Internet at the expense of sports. This paper presents the development of a training program for Taekwon-Do practitioners aged 12-17
years within the European project BeValue Reload in five European countries: Bulgaria, Greece, Northern Macedonia, Romania
and Slovenia. The training program is based on the achievements and challenges identified in advance by the research team in the
relationship between training children and their parents and on the ethical principles of Taekwon-Do. The activities of the program
are aimed at improving the relationship between the children practicing Taekwon-Do and their parents, as well as at training activities - in the direction of increasing motivation of the training youth for active participation in sports activities, which is in line with
the EU HEPA policy to develop a healthy lifestyle based on physical activity. The program also encourages adherence to the ethical
principles of Taekwon-Do. This beneficial impact is aimed directly at children, the target group of this program, but it is also transferable to generation Z children in Europe and around the world.
