It also aims to increase the active participation of EU citizens in sustainable measures through the power of sport, its major events and its leading role models.
'Sport Supports' - emergency sport actions for youth
This category aims to create sport emergency programmes in a context of humanitarian crisis and to help overcoming traumas, adapting to new environments and creating bonds with the hosting communities.
It also aims to support children and youth and their integration into host communities and labour markets.
