Basket For Kids - Basket for kids - 3x3 basketball

Associação Desportiva Cultural e Social de Carvalhais (ADCSC) from Portugal, together with its partners Club for Youth Empowerment 018 (KOM018) from Serbia, Barcel’hona Sport Events from Spain and Denizli Tutku Youth and Sport Club (TYSC) from Turkey would like to apply for a small-scale partnership project “Basket for kids - 3x3 basketball against sedentarism” in order to promote physical activities and specifically 3x3 basketball among children and young people. Sedentarism and physical inactivity is highly prevalent globally and are associated with a wide range of chronic diseases and premature deaths. The interest in sedentary behaviour is justified by a growing body of evidence that points to a relationship between this lifestyle and the increase in the prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. It has been known throughout history that being inactive is unhealthy, but nowadays almost one-third of the world's population is inactive, thus representing a major public health problem. Aim: To enhance the engagement of children in physical activity and sports on a regular basis. Specific objectives: • To develop an innovative methodology on how to teach 3x3 basketball to children. • To develop pilot activities in the partner countries with children • To raise awareness about 3x3 basketball as a tool for physical activity for children Project is 12 months long and will be implemented in Portugal, Serbia, Spain and Turkey that is published through this page expresses the views of the project beneficiaries only and it does not represent the views of the European Union or the European Commission.
