Sport4SocialChange PROJECT

‘Sports 4 Social Change’ is an Erasmus+ programme project in the field of sport, supported by the European Commission and involving 4 organisations from 4 different countries.

Through sport’s ability to foster unity, this project seeks to establish a synergy between sport and social responsibility in young people, by promoting behaviours and actions such as tolerance, solidarity, justice, loyalty, responsibility and a spirit of sacrifice, among other EU values.

The project has a short but experienced consortium, led by a Non-Governmental Organisation ‘Sorgun Gençlik Dernegi’ from Turkey, supported by two academic bodies, ‘Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia’ from Spain and ‘Universitatea Alexandru Ioan Din Iasi’ from Romania and by the Sports Club ‘Ginásio Clube Português’.

The project’s specific objectives are to make sport accessible to everyone, regardless of their background, to provide participants with practical knowledge and skills for practicing sport, to demonstrate Europe’s social values through participation in sport and to create a guide for a better inclusion and education of socio-economically or geographically disadvantaged people.

Starting in May 2022, the ‘Sports 4 Social Change’ project will last 12 months. Here, the activities are planned to be implemented in sports organisations between September 2022 and February 2023, with young teenagers of both genders and aged between 16 and 24 from disadvantaged social backgrounds. To implement the activities, Ginásio Clube Português will use the sport of volleyball, under the technical responsibility of Coach Paulo Santos, who will have an expected workload of 30 hours (theoretical and practical). As far as the project partners are concerned, the ‘Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia’ will use Football and Futsal as its target sports, while the ‘Universitatea Alexandru Ioan Din Iasi’ will use Bocca Romania and ‘Sorgun Gençlik Dernegi’ will use Badminton and Volleyball.
