FAIR IN SPORT, FAIR BY NATURE

FAIR IN SPORT, FAIR BY NATURE

Main objective of the FAIR IN SPORT, FAIR BY NATURE project is to develop a non-formal training method that connects sports activities with sustainable environment issues using an innovative approach. It is innovative in two aspects: – target group aspect – the project will work with mediators (physical education teachers in primary schools, parents’ organizations and animators) who, in a professional or personal aspect, are committed to the development of children’s skills. – tools aspect – the project will increase physical activity levels through intergenerational interaction based on traditional games. The project will also focus on environment protection and the integrity in sport and fair play as a value. Тhus, the project will build environmentally friendly habits and increase physical activity. The project will work towards the promotion of sport as a method of non – formal environmental education through the implementation of the following activities: • Research of games appropriate to promote the link between physical activity and environmental protection; • Developing a video compendium of 24 Green games. • Developing a FAIR volunteer program and training the target group of volunteers to implement the Green games among children. • Validating the skills gathered during the program among 120 children in all partner countries through the organisation of 4 Green Kids Fests at national levels. Sustainable GREEN KIDS CALENDAR will be elaborated as a dissemination and sustainable tool allowing all interested organisations to apply for participation in “green games” as a means of promoting sustainable and responsible urban initiatives.
