Kick-off meeting of Sport for Unity, Resilience and Empowerment (SURE) project
SURE project, led by ENGSO, has officially started in January 2024.
SURE gathers a competent and motivated consortium of 11 partners and 5 associated partners from 13 countries, coming from private and public fields, from within and outside the organised sport movement to provide elements of answers to the following questions:
-How could the grassroots sport movement be more accessible?
-How can sport be more affordable?
-How can sport prevent dropout in times of crisis?
After a series of preparatory steps and online meetings, partners of the project are ready to meet in presence in Portugal on 29 and 30 of April to discuss all the necessary aspects of a smooth implementation of the project.
What is the main goal of SURE?
With this project the partners aim to enhance and test a model of cooperation to build the resilience of the organized sport movement and ensure the societal role of sport for stronger communities, focusing on the access to sport for the most vulnerable socio-economic groups, with the aim to be better equipped to face crisis (energy, displacement, pandemic).
The next phases of the project will include research on existing practices and gaps that will be followed by creation and testing of a cooperation model through various activities organised by all partners.
