ended

SESE projects promotes transnational cooperation, improving the capacity of public and private stakeholders to operate in a challenging environment through the promotion of the concept of Excellence in sports from a cross-sectorial perspective, developing joint strategies with other areas and interest groups and promoting sports in new areas, among others Health, Labour, Family and Risk of Social Exclusion. Thanks to its idiosyncrasy, Sports regions probably represent the best mechanisms to deal with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on Sports and the current economic crisis, through the promotion of digitalisation, social inclusion and business creation. To face this health and socioeconomic crisis that is hitting Europe, six partners from five different countries (Belgium, Croatia, Finland, Portugal and The Netherlands) have decided to gather efforts through the creation of a Sport regions network to boost the Excellence in the definition and implementation of sport policies based on the SportRegion Excellence method. This method aims to improve their capacity to operate at transnational level by defining a holistic and innovative programme of activities addressing common needs and challenges, sharing, and implementing innovative best practices and experiences from a transdisciplinary dimension and promoting the exchange of common resources. The SESE project through the SportRegion Method aims to impact positively on the wellbeing of population living in sport regions through the promotion of Sport as a pillar of social and health improvement. Thus, Excellence Sportegions network is based on the idea that the success and experiences of other regionis based on the idea that the success and experiences of other regions can help us to advance towards a more inclusive, smarter, and sustainable sport’s sector though sharing ideas and knowledge to strengthen the philosophy that Sport really has the power to build societies.
