V 4 Volunteering - sport

Why this project?

The core of the identified problem is the reduced participation in sport volunteering activities, among all the project partners local and general national context.

Given the needs' analysis, the main resulted directions from the analysis that are to be approached in this project are:

information about volunteering in sports – a sharing information platform is needed at the national level, including the local events to be promoted; the benefits of volunteering in sports for organisers (time and cost efficient – the costs with providing the volunteer a full board is generally lower than having to hire and pay an employee for doing the same task); the benefits for volunteers for sport events that go even deeper than the general volunteering (high speed reaction, critical thinking, fast decision taking, assuming responsibilities, protection of the athletes’ privacy, etc)
information about sport events – information about the sport itself (how is it played, what are its rules), promoting local, regional and national sport events and access to as many persons as possible also for the less popular sports
developing competences – the benefits of obtaining competences and soft skills that are lowly promoted and developed during the formal education due to the curricula (team work, leadership, responsibility, etc); promotion and implementation of local physical and sport activities for the mass; organizing sport and physical activities events and competitions

What do we want to achieve?

From the resulted directions mentioned before, the project’s main purpose is to increase the number of persons involved in volunteering mainly in sports in Romania, Turkey and Spain, but at the international level as well.

To create and maintain 1 informative platform throughout the project, for promoting sport results, athletes’ performances, sport events and volunteering in sport opportunities, that would reach at least 3.000 subscribers
To develop and test 1 training course online and its printable version with materials and information for preparing the 200 international volunteers in sport events
