The general goal of the project was to contribute to the prevention of risky forms of behavior and the preservation of the mental health of adolescents – high school students in Serbia through educational and sports activities that have a participative character.

The specific goal of the project was to improve the knowledge of high school students about the recognition of risky forms of behavior that manifest themselves in the real and digital world, which in a certain way encourage stereotypical gender beliefs, as well as the acquisition of information and knowledge about protective strategies when manifestations of risky forms of behavior occur in their environment.
