Deadline: 17-Oct-23
The European Commission (EC) has launched the “Sport for People and Planet” – a new approach on sustainability through sport in Europe under the Pilot Projects and Preparation Actions (PPPA) Programme.
Objectives
- The action should focus on examples of inspirational behaviour and practices at grassroots level that can be multiplied and on methods to engage citizens and sport stakeholders in communities to co-create and cooperate on sustainable sport practices. The objectives of the proposed project are to:
- raise awareness, inspire behaviour, and lead the thinking in European society on how sport can enable and accelerate social and environmental transformation;
- engage EU citizens to actively participate in sustainable measures using the communicative power of sport, its major events and leading role models.
- Actions supported under this project will contribute to the implementation of the New European Bauhaus initiative.
Funding Information
- The estimated available call budget is EUR 1 428 465.
- Duration: Projects should normally range between 12 and 18 months.
Expected Outcomes
The expected results include:
- collecting and sharing knowledge on new behavioural approaches needed to make the sport sector more environmentally sustainable;
- develop approaches and toolkit to be used by sport organisations to become influential leaders in environmental transformation;
- investigate new approaches allowing sport to become a model of sustainability especially for European young generation;
- present and implement socially and environmentally sustainable solutions for sport events.
