The project will have a double impact: sport and educational.

Intercultural Sport Challenge aims at creating a concrete output who wants to be easily accessible and usable by a wide range of stakeholders, during and after the project’s length

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

This project addresses the topic “Encourage social inclusion through sport”. Although cultural diversity is not a new phenomenon, in the last decades it became particularly intense in Europe. As experts in education, we strongly believe that cultural differences, if managed with the right instruments, can be a great resource; and that living in an inclusive environment can help kids to develop mental flexibility and open- mindness, which will be useful for their future as active European citizens.
