Capacity Building in the Field of Sport

Capacity Building projects are international cooperation projects based on multilateral partnerships between organisations active in the field of sport in Programme and third countries not associated to the Programme in Region 1 (Western Balkans) and Region 2 (Neighbourhood East). They aim to support sport activities and policies in third countries not associated to the Programme as a vehicle to promote values as well as an educational tool to promote the personal and social development of individuals and build more cohesive communities.

OBJECTIVES OF THE ACTION

The action will aim at:

• raising the capacity of grassroots sport organisations;
• encouraging the practice of sport and physical activity in third countries not associated to the Programme;
• promoting social inclusion through sport;
• promoting positive values through sport (such as fair play, tolerance, team spirit);
• fostering cooperation across different regions of the world through joint initiatives.

THEMATIC AREAS / SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

Proposals should focus on certain thematic areas defined at programming stage. Examples of particularly relevant areas are:

• promotion of common values, non-discrimination and gender equality through sport;
• development of skills (through sport) needed to improve the social involvement of disadvantaged groups (e.g. independence, leadership etc.);
• integration of migrants;
• post-conflict reconciliation.
