Objectives and missions

Over three years, OSES will be responding to the general objective of supporting education in and through sport. We firmly believe in the role of sport in formal and informal education. Faced with the urgent challenge of protecting the environment, we want to make the sport movement a key actor in teaching youth about protecting their planet and its natural resources.

 

We know the benefits of sport for health and the physical development of young people for a number of years. Sport and physical activity can fight the damaging effects of the sedentary lifestyle, generate important health benefits and play a part in the personal development of the individual. Doing sport can also have a powerful impact on the general education of young people and be a vehicle for good learning outcomes. Sport can play an important part in the fight against the effects of climate change. In the long term, it can lead to good practices and also contribute to changing behaviour in favour of conserving, protecting and understanding the environment. To do this, links must be made between actors who, together, can make a difference. That is what the OSES Project is all about.

With the support of nine partners, including four clubs in four different countries, we are helping to develop educational tools for federations and local sport stakeholders, in order to teach youth about eco-responsible actions and develop an environmental awareness from an early age, through sport. The pilot interventions organized by sport clubs aim at testing the OSES methodology and associated tools on the theme of ocean protection and environmental awareness. In addition to these activities, a measurement of the social and environmental impact will be carried out, to show the effects of the activities and provide concrete, measurable and identifiable data.

Partners

The project will run for 36 months, and started in May 2023 with the kick-off meeting hosted in the House of Sport in Brussels (Belgium).
