Sharing positive values through the enhancement of the referee’s role 

 

The collaboration established in the framework of the project “SPORT for RULES -Sharing positive values through the enhancement of the referee’s role” aims at facing the challenges present at different sport levels. The project actions target the valorisation of the referee as the subject responsible for the control of the game and important to guarantee respect to wards the rules and the players’ safety. The referee, as such, is present in every sport, although he/she is often victim of violence and disrespect on behalf of players, coaches and audience. The theme of violence is one of the most urgent challenges in sport, one that is necessary to overcome, as stated by the Erasmus+ Programme Guide, by modifying the way people approach themselves to sport in order to scatter the phenomenon of violence, which is present throughout Europe and within every sporting disciplines lines, even though perceived with different intensity.
