The European Commission established the SHARE (SportHub: Alliance for Regional development in Europe) initiative in 2018. The initiative ran until 2023.
It aimed to raise awareness of the importance of sports and physical activity for regional and local development.
Over the period 2018-2023, the SHARE initiative included extensive interactions, discussions, capacity building activities and knowledge exchanges among stakeholders, leading to knowledge and relationship building, ultimately promoting the use of funding opportunities for sport-related activities.
