Sport #WithoutWaste – SWW
With the support of the European Union’s ERASMUS+ programme, the Sport #WithoutWaste project, led by BG Be Active Association (BGBA), is a multidisciplinary collaborative partnership aiming to start a Sport #WithoutWaste movement focusing on six countries: Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Serbia, Albania, and Türkiye.
BGBA aspires to transfer, adapt and scale the tested national practices on having cities and events #WithoutWaste from BGBA and Bulgaria to the partnering countries with a focus on the grassroots-sports sector. With partners and their local networks, we aim to create and transfer the without-waste ideas to other grassroots sports organisers and educational institutions such as schools and universities.
The overarching objective is to start the #WithoutWaste for leisure and sport movement by employing the placemaking methodology and tactical urbanism approach, transferring knowledge, and building the capacity of partnering organisations to coordinate waste-free grassroots sporting events. In developing the Sport #WithoutWaste national actions, the project consortium will also work to develop and introduce policies on litter prevention and sustainable practices for grassroots sports campaigns and events.
The consortium is joined by two expert partners, which will ensure the successful delivery and sustainability of the project by sharing their expertise – ISCA – International Sports and Culture Association with years of experience promoting physical activity on a European level, and Nabolagshager – a pioneer in implementing and developing projects promoting green practices.
