SURE Project yearly summary

Project Management Sustainability Policy

The Project Management Sustainability Policy proposal was prepared by FSI prior to the kick-off meeting, and consequently reviewed. Discussions among partners highlighted the importance of compensating for CO2 impacts, particularly for long-distance travel, through actions such as supporting local communities, non-profits, and similar initiatives. The partners provided few suggestions to refine the policy before successfully finalising it.

Collection of Good Practices Template

OPES introduced a draft template for collecting and sharing good practices. Partners were encouraged to provide feedback to refine the template, which was successfully finalized and prepared for dissemination. This initiative aims to document and share actionable strategies to benefit target groups across the project’s focus areas.

Survey Cooperation Models

OPES also presented a comprehensive overview of the survey, building on the initial discussions held during the kick-off meeting and consequent online meetings. With this research the consortium aims to strengthen the resilience of the sports movement and to foster inclusion of the most vulnerable groups to enable them to participate in sport and physical activity on an ongoing basis, even and especially in times of crisis. The survey is now finalised for public institutions and sport organisations.

Interview for Target Groups

100% Sport introduced the objectives and approach for conducting interviews with vulnerable target groups. The interviews aim to collect valuable insights into the needs and experiences of these groups. Importantly, these findings will serve as the foundation for the WP4 deliverable, namely the digital portraits gallery.

To ensure a structured approach, the consensus was reached to feature photo + quote as the format for the gallery, combining visual storytelling with personal reflections. The interview is now translated in all the partner languages, and ready to kick-off the data collection.

Next steps

On the occasion of this last meeting of the year, NOC Croatia presented their idea of the cooperation model, as partners are expected to test the model of cooperation in years 2025 and 2026.

Now that all the deliverables of the Work Package 2 are finalised, year 2025 is dedicated to the data collection using the previously mentioned research tools.

The next in-person project meeting will be held in the Netherlands, with the exact date yet to be confirmed. However the partners will continue gathering for their monthly online meetings in the meantime.

This progress reflects the collaborative spirit of the project and sets the stage for impactful outcomes coming in the remaining 2 years of the project.
