HALT project partners work on safeguarding sport

HALT project is focused on raising awareness about good practices on safeguarding, combatting violence and tackling racism, discrimination and intolerance in sport. HALT will create and exploit various learning technologies, developed by academics and supported by a network of athletes and sports organisations.

The dynamics of the project development were slightly modified due to the covid-19 situation, but project partners are working hard to develop the material and resources. In the participating countries, interviews were filmed with key stakeholders – decision makers, sports organisations, researchers, non-governmental organisations and athletes. These will form part of awareness raising and educational resources.

Interviews with key stakeholders were filmed across partner countries

EUSA Institute would like to thank the speakers who contributed to the development of the material, addressing different types of abuse and harassment, including emotional, physical, sexual and neglect. We are extremely proud to have received support from various target groups and individuals including Ms Simona Kustec, Minister of Education, Science and Sport in the Republic of Slovenia. The videos and information materials, with online community of practice and interactive learning platform will be shortly available, after being edited and tested.
