Project Description:

The project aims to connect children and their families from both sides of the border and strengthen their long-term cooperation, primarily through sports. Activities focus on football, futsal, and teqball, encouraging engagement across generations and communities. Through joint trainings, competitions, and expert seminars, over 200 children and sports professionals will directly participate, while three organizations will build lasting cross-border cooperation. Events such as training camps, tournaments, festivals, family days, and stadium visits will foster friendships and knowledge exchange. The project also supports the purchase of essential sports equipment to enable continued training and development beyond the project’s duration. Long-term goals include annual joint events, stronger ties between citizens, and growing youth participation in sports, especially from remote and marginalized areas. The initiative creates a sustainable foundation for community-building and healthy lifestyles across borders.
