WHAT ARE THE AIMS OF A COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP?


Collaborative Partnerships offer the opportunity to develop, transfer and/or implement innovative practices in different areas relating to sport and physical activity between various organisations and actors in and outside sport, including in particular public authorities at local, regional, national and European levels, sport organisations, sport-related organisations and educational bodies. Collaborative Partnerships are, in particular, innovative:

• combat doping at grassroots level, notably in recreational environments such as amateur sport and fitness
• support prevention and raise awareness among stakeholders involved in the fight against match-fixing
• support prevention, educational and innovative approaches to tackle violence, racism and intolerance in sport 
• support the implementation of EU policy documents in the field of sport and other relevant policy areas such as recommendations, guidelines, policy strategies, etc. (e.g. EU Physical Activity Guidelines, EU Guidelines on Dual Careers of Athletes, Principles on good governance in sport, etc.)..

A particular focus will be put on projects that address grassroots sports..


WHICH ACTIVITIES ARE SUPPORTED UNDER THIS ACTION?

 Collaborative Partnerships should promote the creation and development of European networks in the field of sport. Within the framework of Collaborative Partnerships, Erasmus+ intends to support the testing and development of new project formats and new forms of transnational cooperation in the field of sport that are likely to inspire the development, on a larger scale of initiatives supported with national funding schemes or other European funds, such as the European Structural and Investment Funds.
