Empowering Grassroots Sport for Inclusion and Development

The “Empowering Grassroots Sport for Inclusion and Development” (EGSID) project in Albania aims to use sports as a tool for promoting social inclusion, health, and well-being, particularly among marginalised communities. It seeks to enhance access to sports activities, fostering a sense of belonging and community cohesion.

A central focus is on strengthening the organisational capacities of local sports entities to make them more inclusive, effective, and sustainable. This involves providing training and resources to improve governance, management, and the delivery of diverse sports programmes.

EGSID also promotes European values such as equality, non-discrimination, and human rights within the sports sector, aiming to drive social change and tolerance through sports. The project emphasises EU-Albania collaboration, fostering partnerships and knowledge exchange to enhance grassroots sports initiatives.

Ultimately, EGSID aspires to build a healthier, more inclusive society in Albania by increasing sports accessibility, particularly for those often excluded, improving individual well-being, and strengthening social and cultural cohesion.
