Title of the project: B-SPORT+
Funding program: Erasmus +
Description:
B-SPORT+ is a blueprint to engage and activate persons with disabilities (PwD) and to assist them adopting healthy habits through a Lifelong Sporting System starting at early age and continuing in their active life (workplace, professional activity, etc.).
Accordingly, B-SPORTS+ project focuses on developing actionable and deployable mechanisms, for improving the engagement and activation of PwD in healthier lifestyles, and on creating new cooperation settings and synergies and supporting existing ones, across key organisations and existing networks.
B-SPORT+ tackle the need to build resident facilitators (HL-Coaches) capabilities to effectively assist PwD to adopt healthier lifestyle, and equip multipliers (HL-Multi) with aptitudes to promote and foster healthier lifestyle across institutions and bodies, whilst generating collaborative mechanisms to facilitate this process.
B-SPORTS+ brings together leading bodies from an enlarged sphere of audiences and groups, including sport, physical activity, science and research, businesses, the civil society, education and training, government bodies, in a remarkable partnership of expertise to implement the project.
All, often engaged in EU funded projects, recognises the importance of the need for an implementation plan based on the recommendations of the Council Recommendation on health-enhancing physical activity (HEPA), the EU Physical Activity Guidelines and the Tartu Call for a Healthy Lifestyle, not only in taking actions but also at policy level.
The system is substantially supported by the creation of an ethos of healthy habits, with the inclusive action of all actors of the society beyond the strict sport, physical activity and healthy lifestyle spheres. This culture is supported by key elements working together to maintain a continuous flow of activities: facilitators, multipliers, a capacity building programme, a Policy Lab, and a user-driven digital social platform (SPORT+LIFE), among other key outputs.
