Objectives

With this project we wanted to highlight the importance of sport in promoting sustainability and environmental protection. It emphasised the role of youth in embracing sustainable practices and advocating for a greener future. We also tackled the negative impact of physical inactivity on both individual and societal well-being. The project had the following objectives: - To develop the topic of sustainability among participants and share best practices in this area at a European level. - To mitigate climate change by promoting sustainable, practical, and impactful solutions. - To develop a critical thinking mindset among participants and promote better practices for sustainable living. - To promote inclusion and diversity among the youth sector through sports. - To raise young people's awareness/understanding of environmental issues and offer them the opportunity to create change in their local communities. - To strengthen an integrity- and values-based sport in the EU. - To increase participation in sport and health-enhancing physical activity in order to promote an active and environmentally friendly lifestyle, social cohesion, and active citizenship. - To raise awareness of the important contribution that sport can make to Europe's socially and environmentally sustainable growth, digitalization, as well as recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and future resilience. - To intensify the dialogue and cooperation at EU level with the sport movement and other relevant stakeholders and institutions, both within and outside the field of sport and physical activity. - To promote the ERASMUS+ program, EU values, and participation in future activities through the use of non-formal education, while promoting its recognition through the YouthPass certificate. - To develop better attitudes among participants on the basis of EU values. - To promote the new ERASMUS+ Programme and its priorities aligned with a European Youth Strategy 2019-2027, the 11 Youth Goals, and the SDGs.
