Grassroots exchange and mobility – empowering youth sport professionals – GEM

GEM project focuses on grassroots sport, by improving the knowledge and know-how of sport staff and developing international cooperation through the learning mobility in the field of sport. Overall objective of the project is to use mobilities and experience exchanges to develop individual competencies and organisational networks that will drive sport participation and mutual relations forward between partners from 5 Western Balkan countries and 5 other European countries.

The project focuses on grassroots sport, including school sport and PE, since these areas have tremendous effect on the regularity and quality of current and future participation in grassroots sports and PA of the students involved. Aiming primarily at the school sector, 3 dimensions defined for discussions, sharing, exchanging ideas:

• association between sport sector and educational sector – state of school sport,
• basis of grassroots sport – PE, school sport and PA in schools;
• peer volunteering in school sport and school PA.

Dimensions will be processed through online surveys, seminars, study visits (with “real-time” demonstrations of the chosen good practice), short analyses etc., and partners will discuss those outcomes, recommendations or good practices, which are the most relevant for them. A collection of good practices, and well-functioning strategies will be developed.
