About the Project
Understanding our mission and the Erasmus+ Sport context
Erasmus+ Sport Programme
Building Bridges Through Sport
GOLFTEGRATION is funded under the Erasmus+ Sport programme, which supports projects that promote participation in sport and physical activity, as well as the development of European dimension in sport.
Our project specifically focuses on using golf and Pitch & Putt as tools for social inclusion, targeting communities that often face barriers to sports participation, including people with disabilities, war veterans, individuals with Alzheimer's, and those with Down syndrome.
Through carefully designed activities and methodologies, we aim to demonstrate that sport can be a powerful vehicle for improving quality of life, fostering community connections, and promoting mental and physical wellbeing.
