three pillars
on which the partnership will work
01/ Research on sports existing offer in Greenways
We’ll look at good practices and Innovative sport activities that are organised in greenways or that could be transferable. In parallel, a mapping of potential new greenways will be developed where all partners will identify potential greenways in their regions.
02/ Develop a Sports Activities Programme & Sport Training of Trainers (SToT)
With the expertise from partners and the STOT the project aims at developing an adapted Sports activities Programme for Greenways. Each partner will pilot with a different target group and a relevant topic. Besides, the Sports Activities will aim at dealing with transversal topics such as environmental awareness and circular economy.
03/ Design a Strategy for Sport Activities Programs in Greenways
The entire consortium will work with key stakeholders and municipalities at a national level organizing Focus Groups and a dissemination event to analyze and propose implementation possibilities to enhance local economy and revitalize abandoned areas through sport. Furthermore, by the end of the project an European Stakeholders Multiplier Event will be host in Belgium by the European Greenways Association.
