The Green Dojos project addresses Europe's public health challenges by targeting physical inactivity, particularly among adults over 55. The initiative will promote non-competitive physical activities inspired by martial arts in accessible outdoor settings and integrate ecological awareness by engaging participants in the maintenance of these spaces. The project aligns with the Erasmus+ KA2 Sport priority, encouraging healthy lifestyles through non-competitive exercises in natural settings and the integration of physical activity with ecological practices.

The project aligns with the Erasmus+ KA2 Sport priority, encouraging healthy lifestyles through non-competitive exercises in natural settings and the integration of physical activity with ecological practices. It supports the EUโ€™s HEPA framework and the HealthyLifestyle4All initiative, enhancing the synergy between sport, health, and sustainability. Green Dojos aims to impact over 5,000 participants and their communities by improving the quality of life for older adults and contributing to the sustainability of communities. It intends to transform public spaces into active, inclusive zones that promote health and ecological awareness, expecting to increase physical activity levels by 30% among participants and reduce social isolation by 25%. This initiative stands out as an innovative and sustainable approach to leveraging underutilized public spaces for community health and well-being, enhancing both physical and mental health outcomes while fostering a sense of community ownership and responsibility. 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.
