SPED was an international project that focused on inclusion, social accessibility, and equality in youth sports activities. The project was implemented with Erasmus+ Sport funding.
In addition to Youth Academy, the project had three other partners:
- Active Youth Association (Asociacija Aktyvus Jaunimas), Lithuania
- AICEM (Associazione internazionale per la cooperazione e l’educazione), Italy
- BAIS (Budapest Association for International Sports), Hungary
We acted as the coordinator of the project and brought to the project, for example, expertise in inclusion and social accessibility of sports and leisure time activities.
The aim of the project was to share and make use of the partners’ good practices, compile them into a guide and podcast series, and train members of the organisations and volunteers. The outputs and materials were distributed to sports and leisure operators.
