Activating citizens & Creating a Better World Through Sport for All
The world is changing. As levels of participation in sport and physical activity are dropping and social, economic and health challenges are on the rise, International Sport Organisations have, more than ever, a crucial role to play in inspiring a change of paradigm in the world of sport that connects society, grassroots and elite sports. The INTERACT+ Project builds on the work of its predecessor and develops a sustainable and socially responsible approach to sport, which place the human, citizens, their needs and expectations at the centre of sport and physical activity delivery.
