My Sport is Franja wants to share good practises in sport and connect people from the field of sports with people from the field of culture.
Leading in the whole project are the 6 human values (solidarity, friendship, fairness, persistence, perseverance, mutual understanding) which are important in sports. The purpose of the project is also to expand the famous cycling event Franjo BTC City Marathon to the European level and establish the name Franjo as a synonym for good practices in sports.

1. The traditional cycling event, which this year saw its 35th performance in Slovenia, transcends national borders with the two-year project My sport is Franja.
2. My Sport is Franja is present at many other events promoting values and cultural heritage.
3. Additional funds from the tender enable the 35th Franjo BTC City Marathon to receive an even richer programme in the next two years and even more supporters and sympathizers outside Slovenia.
4. A conference in which good practices in sports are shared with a special focus on volunteers, youth and cultural heritage.
