WELCOME TO BRISWA 2.0, A PROJECT FUNDED BY THE
EUROPEAN UNION UNDER THE ERASMUS+ PROGRAM
The project aims to tackle a still widespread social problem: Racism in sport. This project has set itself the task of sensitizing professors, sports coaches and students to the issue of inclusion. To this end, a course will be developed to trains and improves skills and knowledge about this phenomenon and encourages all participants to take an active stance against racism.
But where does the Briswa 2.0 project come from?
The BRISWA 2.0 finds its roots within the BRISWA project, which is an EU-funded project (funded by the ERASMUS+ PROGRAMME – SPORT COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP – GA 2016 – 3060) dealing with the problem of racism in football (and in Sports in general), trying to spread the message of equality among races, genders, religions etc. among football players, especially youngsters, and hence ultimately trying to “kick” racism out of all kind of courts, fields, stadiums and so on. Aims of the project was to re-examine racism and discrimination in football, define it in a more concise way and promote a more thorough and active approach against it.
The excellent results achieved within the project in terms of materials developed, visibility, and impact in the world of sports not only earned the Commission a very high rating on the quality of the project, but also ensured that it included the BRISWA project within a restricted category of successful projects (“good practice”) within the European portal (Erasmus+ Project Results Platform, a database where you can find descriptions and results of projects supported by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ Programme for Education, Training, Youth and Sport, as well as its predecessor programmes)
