BREAK THE LIMITS

ongoing

Break the Limits (BTL) is a year-long Erasmus+ Not-for-Profit European Sport Event – European Local Event Type I, led by the Bulgarian Break Federation in partnership with Fédération Française de Danse (France) and House of Urban Culture (Germany). It promotes breakdancing as an accessible and inclusive sport, engaging young people and underserved communities in physical activity and social inclusion. With breakdancing debuting at Paris 2024, BTL aligns with EU sport and health policies while also promoting gender equality in breakdancing. The project includes three major events: • Break the Limits: Olympic Values (Paris, hosted by FFD) – Focus on Olympic values and competition. • Break the Limits: Dance for Inclusion (Dresden, hosted by House of Urban Culture) – Breakdance as a tool for refugee integration. • Break the Limits: European Week of Sport (Sofia, hosted by Bulgarian Break Federation) – Encouraging participation in breakdancing and physical activity. The project follows three work packages (WPs): WP1: Project Management & Implementation ensures smooth coordination and financial oversight. WP2: Activities delivers impactful breakdance events and workshops. WP3: Dissemination & Impact shares project results through reports, videos, and a final conference. Break the Limits aims to make breakdancing more accessible, foster inclusion, and establish it as a recognized sport across Europe.
