Description

Sport for a Start was a four-month project aimed at promoting team sports in the eight schools of the Belsh 'cluster' in central Albania.

Objectives

Sport for a Start is a four-month project with the aim of introducing and developing the practice of team sports in the eight schools of the Belsh 'cluster' in central Albania.

The main justification for the project is to show, by demonstrating the benefits of team sports on the development of the children (short term), on the functioning of the schools (medium term), and on the life of the community (long term), that the construction of adequate sports grounds is now a priority in the process of development of the 'cluster'.

Remarks

Other partners included the Albanian school directors and sports teachers, and the people of the communities where we worked.
