SPORT
European projects that contribute to the development of the European dimension in sport and lead to increased levels of participation in sport and the promotion of physical activity.
3SP: Special Sports for Special People
The project
The project, funded through the Erasmus+ Sport programme, was promoted by CONFAP member organisations, which identified a number of common needs within their training centres:
1. Sports activities are not very common in vocational training centres that provide initial training;
2. Young people in vocational training centres (especially those at high risk of dropping out) are not very inclined to participate in sports.
The objectives
To meet these needs, the 3SP project aims to:
- promote voluntary activities in sport, together with social inclusion, equal opportunities and awareness of the importance of health through physical activity, in order to increase participation in sport for all.
- promote physical activity and sport, understood as a healthy lifestyle and active citizenship, in order to support the well-being and educational success of young people (14-18);;
- strengthen the role of sport and physical activity in training and education through closer and more structured cooperation between education/training institutions and sports institutions and associations;
