Nine initiatives selected for MOVE Transfer national in 2015/2016

25/05/2015

ISCA has selected nine grassroots sport initiatives for hard-to-reach target groups that will be up-scaled or transferred to different communities within the same European country in 2015/2016. These initiatives have been identified as having run successfully in their current location and demonstrated the potential to expand their scope.

Organisations from Hungary, Malta, Slovenia, Romania, Italy, the UK, Belgium and Greece will be part of this upcoming round of the NowWeMOVE campaign’s MOVE Transfer national process, which is supported by Coca-Cola Europe. The 10-month process of up-scaling or transferring their initiatives will start in mid-June.

The initiatives selected for the 2015/2016 round of MOVE Transfer (including their target group, country and the organisations that will up-scale or transfer them) are:

  • Fair Play Football Roadshow, Oltalom Sport Association, Hungary: Roma youth who are facing discrimination and racism
  • TE.IS Program, Hungarian School Sport Federation, Hungary: Underprivileged students from the Hungarian convergence regions (aged 10-18)
