Projects

By combining business experience, a scientific workshop and a passion for sport, we believe that we are able to increase the positive impact of sports organisations on society.

All the projects we carry out allow us to share knowledge and promote the topic of good governance.

Aim of the project

European Solidarity Corps (ESC) is a program of the European Commission that enables young people to get involved in activities benefiting local communities within and outside the EU. Participating in ESC projects offers an opportunity to gain experience, grow personally, and make a tangible impact on the social environment.

Solidarity projects carried out under the ESC are local youth initiatives that respond to specific community needs—these may include ecological, educational, social, or integrative actions. They are implemented by groups of young people supported by organizations such as ISG.

The Institute for Sport Governance holds a Quality Label as both a sending and hosting organization within the European Solidarity Corps, which allows us to take part in ESC activities in the area of volunteering. At the same time, we actively operate as a supporting organization for solidarity projects. In this capacity, we assist youth groups in preparing, planning, and implementing local initiatives for the benefit of their communities, offering advisory and mentoring support.
