Each project partner establishes a Local Stakeholder Group composed of relevant territorial actors, including public authorities, civil society, and sports or health-related organizations. These groups aim to identify local good practices on community sports and health resilience share expertise, and contribute to the design of improved policy instruments.

 The learning events, such as study visits, thematic seminars and bilateral meetings, offer structured opportunities for peer exchange, promote the dissemination of good practices, and build partners’ capacities to reform and innovate their local and regional policies in the fields of health and sport.

A total of 50 organisations from across Europe—including local governments, non-profits, and groups involved in sports and health—will come together to integrate community sports into health resilience strategy.

Five regional or local policy instruments will be directly addressed and enhanced through the project. These instruments encompass development strategies and operational programmes focused on health, social inclusion, and sports. Planned improvements may involve integrating community sport into broader strategic objectives, revising funding priorities, and introducing new collaborative implementation models. The targeted policy instruments are: the AMP 2030 Strategy and Priorities for Action by the Porto Metropolitan Area (Portugal); the Regional Programme 2021–2027 of the Region of Attica (Greece); the Kraków Metropolitan Area 2030 Strategy: Metropolis of Opportunities (KMA2030 Strategy) by the Krakow Metropolis Association (Poland); the Sports and Exercise Policy 2017–2025, “In Heerenveen Beweegt Het” by the Municipality of Heerenveen (Netherlands); and the Territorial and Settlement Development Operational Programme Plus by the Municipality of Nyíregyháza (Hungary).

A minimum of 12 good practices will be identified to show how community sports can boost health resilience. These will be documented, shared, and evaluated for relevance and transferability, helping other regions adopt proven ways to support mental health, inclusion, and active lifestyles.
