SUMMARY:

Through the project, UISP intends to enhance the role of sport and physical activity in the processes supporting the achievement of the objectives of the 2030 Agenda, pursuing a strategic objective aimed at planning, experimentation and implementation of the "Sports Transition". The Sports Transition is an innovative approach to emancipate sport, transforming it from a complementary tool for achieving social and economic cohesion objectives to a priority for the implementation of territorial planning and regeneration processes. The aim is to promote the concept of sports mainstreaming, a process to qualify sport in public policy and a strategic tool to support processes aimed at social promotion, health protection, sustainable development and economic growth, with particular attention to the most disadvantaged territorial contexts such as the "suburbs" of cities and the "internal areas" (that is, that part of the Italian territory characterized by a significant distance from the centers offering essential services).

 

OBJECTIVES:

General Objective:

• Planning, testing and implementation of the "Sports Transition" to enhance the role of sport in relation to health, social inclusion, respect for the environment, and support for the economy.

 Specific Objectives:

• Promote the adoption of healthy lifestyles to reduce the risk of disease and improve general well-being;
• Support the redevelopment of spaces in consideration of sporting functions to help make cities more sustainable, livable and inclusive;
• Reduce the carbon footprint of sporting activities and promote sustainable practices, such as the use of renewable energy, waste reduction and the adoption of eco-friendly transport options;
• Enhance the educational function of sport; strengthen sports accessibility processes for frail and disabled people;
• Promote the inclusion of people of all ages, genders, abilities, races, ethnicities and socio-economic conditions in sport;
• Activate development processes aimed at qualifying sport and physical activity in an "innovation ecosystem"

 

PROJECT ACTIONS:   

Target:

• 250 Third Sector sports associations
• 200 Administrators and public officials
• 400 Boys and girls (04-17 years)
• 350 Adults (18-64 years)
• 500 Over 65

 

COMP 1 - Management

COMP2 – Communication

COMP 3 - Activation and development of the TRAN-SPORT Living Lab

Structuring of the collaboration network / operational network

• National Living Lab (LLN) / National coordination group
• Regional Living Lab Regionale (LLR) / Local coordination group
• Territorial Living Lab (LLT)

Activation of a co-development platform

The platform operates at national, regional and territorial level according to the Living Lab – LL model to enhance the skills and knowledge of "experts" in tools (strategies and development plans) to find solutions to emerging needs. The platform works trying to transform problems attributable to sport and physical activity into opportunities to assist in the improvement of people's levels of "social well-being".

Activation of thematic working groups (social, environmental and economic dimensions of sports transition)

Co-development activities

• Capacity building (LLN)
• Sports transition guidelines (LLR)
• PIUST (Urban plans for sports transition) (LLR)
• PUMS (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan) – Home-School-Sport mobility (LLT)
• “Sports transition spaces” (LLT)

 

COMP 4 - Implementation of pilot actions

With the direct involvement of the beneficiaries, the pilot actions aim to experiment and validate initiatives aimed at enhancing the role of sport.

Social sports transition

• “Silver voucher” (aimed at encouraging the inclusion of over 65s in sport)
• “Sports school and exergames” (awareness-raising activities in elementary and middle schools on sports transition and experiments on the use of technological applications (exergames) to support recreational-sports activities)
• “Sports transition coach” (orientation activities aimed at physical well-being and sporting activity)

Economic sports transition

• Social fundraising/crowdfunding platform (to support projects consistent with the principle of sports transition)
• “Tran-sport Contest” (call for ideas to promote the development of new entrepreneurial activities or professions consistent with the needs and opportunities of the sport transition)
