Sport for Unity, Resilience and Empowerment will analyse cooperation models, focusing on resilience and inclusion
Partners of Sport for Unity, Resilience and Empowerment (SURE) project started the research phase of the project.
After the kick-off meeting in Portugal in April partners started working on the research phase of the project.
The research led by OPES from Italy and 100% Sport from Austria consists of collecting data on best practices on inclusion and lived experience from vulnerable target groups related to access to sport.
A part of the research is dedicated to analysis of various cooperation models with focus on resilience and inclusion, especially in crisis settings.
As of September 2024, OPES have developed a template for the collection of good practices and 100% Sport is working on a structure for the interviews with target groups.
After the preparation phase partners will move on to data collection for the research.
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?
What is the main goal of SURE?
With this European Union co-funded 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).
