Go Green in Sport

The project "Go Green in Sport" aims at promoting green environmental practices in sport events and building the environmental capacity of both the partners and the sport clubs, NGOs and schools in the partnering local communities so they can become green role models for the local youth and citizens. The partners from Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Cyprus and Croatia will work together to develop a tool-kit with best environmental practices in sport and recommendations for organising greener sport events which will be disseminated among the local sport clubs, schools and NGOs in the partnering communities. Moreover, we will equip 20 sport clubs and organisations (4 per partner) with special transportable bins which they can use in all their future events to encourage clean sport fields after their sport events. European Citizenship will be strengthened via the promotion of European sport initiatives as each partner will organize Green Sport Weeks for European Move Week 2024 and European Week of Sport 2024 with sport activities fostering keeping the environment clean during sport events, training young people how to go green in sport - not littering the sport fields at sport events they attend, using environmentally friendly water bottles, green transport, sport games fostering separate waste collection. Under the project we will organise 4 partnership meetings for project planning, monitoring, evaluation and exchange of best practices from which will directly benefit 80 people. Each partner will include in these meetings local sport-related stakeholders so as to build capacity in more organisations for organizing green sport events thus raising the environmental awareness of young people, fans and sports people. The partnership is diverse involving newcomers in SSCP(the Greek NGO and the Croatian sport club) and partners with whom we have already successfully implemented two SSCPs about social inclusion of rural youth and women.
