CP BIG SPORT GAIA

 As sport is an integral part of society, it cannot ignore environmental and sustainable development issues. As with any activity, sport both has an impact on the environment and is affected by it. GAIA aims to create awareness on the topic and foster the implementation of good governance and sustainability actions. In fact, sport presents broad opportunities to promote environmental awareness, capacity building and far-reaching actions for environmental, social and economic development across society. Thus, GAIA aims to conduct a research on the inclusion of good governance and sustainability principles in sports organisation; develop a curriculum on Sustainability and Good Governance for members of Sports organisations ; elaborate a training programme on Sustainability and Good Governance; co-develop with the final users a Sustainable Sport Governance Chart.

LOGOS 

CP BIG SPORT HRIC

Holistic sport-based Rehabilitation programmes to support youth Impacted by Covid-19 –  

HRIC 

HRIC will take advantage of and enhance the therapeutic potential of sports to support the mental wellbeing of vulnerable youth groups by developing specific training methodologies and policy recommendation to foster the participation in sport activities by these vulnerable youth groups and contribute to the improvement of their mental wellbeing, especially of those particularly touched by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. HRIC will adopt a holistic approach grounded on the concepts of psycho-physical and mental health to support the inclusion of vulnerable young people (16-30) who suffer from anxiety, depression, psychological breakdown, and PTSD and who have been particularly affected from the period of COVID isolation and have experienced repercussions on their mental health. The methodological combination and synergy between Education Through Sport (ETS) and practical/theoretical elements of psychology will be embodied and multiplied through the creation of innovative profiles of Sport Coaches and social operators in supporting persons who were already suffering from depression, anxiety and stress management and for whom the pandemic period has increased and worsened their state, toward the achievement of psychophysical wellbeing and integration within Sport practice and, by extension, society.
