SURE project presents an academic research on crisis management in grassroot sports

Research suggests resilience can be strengthened through community-driven and culturally tailored programmes, digital or hybrid delivery, infrastructural and environmental adaptations, and integration of sport within sustainability and crisis recovery policies.

Future research should improve methodological rigour and inclusivity to increase confidence in these strategies.

In the next month partners will present the findings of the next phase of the research that focused on good practices and surveys that will provide new insights into the topic.

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 organised 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.
