In Nicosia, representatives of CyBarz, a Cypriot youth group took to the streets to ask passersby the following questions

Do they like physical activity?

Do they go to the gym?

Are they interested in a park where one can enjoy fresh air and play sports?

According to those who took part, Cypriots believe that many have a lack of concern for their health. Added to that, many believe that technology has impacted the way we interact with one another — including our close family and friends.

CYBarz is an organization of youth, whose participants not only play sports in open areas, but also actively promote a healthy lifestyle. In 2016, its representatives contributed to the reconstruction of one of the parks in Nicosia, where thanks to them a zone for sports appeared. According to young people, officials should be more serious about amateur athletes and more attentively take into account their needs, and creating zones for outdoor activities in the fresh air is exactly what is needed for the improvement of society.
