Unity in Motion
October 2025 – April 2027 The Unity in Motion project (Promoting social inclusion through sport) is implemented under the coordination of the Bulgarian Social Management Bulgaria Association (SMB) through the cooperation of sports organizations and non-governmental organizations from 11 EU countries.
The aim of the project is to promote social inclusion and personal development through sport, with a particular focus on marginalized groups such as Roma communities, migrants, refugees, homeless people, and other socially disadvantaged groups. By providing structured sports training, leadership skills development, and intercultural activities, the project creates opportunities for participants to engage in community life, develop essential skills, and improve their well-being. The primary target group of the project consists mainly of young people aged 15–29 from the above-mentioned groups.
Project activities include education, capacity-building and development actions, as well as a large-scale sporting event.
INSPIRE
October 2025 – March 2027 The INSPIRE (Innovation and Networking for Sport Professional Integration Resources in Europe) project was launched in October 2025 with the participation of four countries.
The project coordinator is Fédération Nationale Profession Sport et Loisirs (FNPSL) – France
Partner organizations:
- Bulgarian Ministry of Youth and Sports – Bulgaria
- Santarém Polytechnic University / Sport Sciences School of Rio Maior (ESDRM) – Portugal
- Second Chance Sports Association – Hungary
The overall objective of the project is to exploit the potential of the sports sector in terms of employing young NEETs (young people aged 15-29 who are not in education, employment or training).
This will be achieved by identifying, analyzing, and promoting effective professional integration programs across Europe. The project aims to map and analyze existing professional integration systems, initiatives, and programs that specifically support young NEETs between the ages of 15 and 29 in obtaining sports qualifications and entering the labor market.
During the project, participants will identify needs, structural and individual barriers, and explore existing employment models, initiatives, and good practices.
The project aims to develop a tool that uses the power of sport—as a sector with significant employment potential—to help the most vulnerable young people, NEETs, overcome the barriers that prevent them from entering the labor market.
DIALECT 4
2025.01.01 – 2026.12.31 The goal of DIALECT is to overcome stereotypes and develop students’ social and life skills by promoting school tolerance communities through physical education in four European countries: Greece, Serbia, Italy, and Hungary. The chosen tool is football, along with the football3 methodology – an alternative model of football that is considered worldwide as an ideal instrument for addressing social challenges.

Second Chances
2025.01.01 – 2025.12.31 In 2025, for the sixth time, our work will be supported by the UEFA Foundation for Children, celebrating its 10th anniversary. This support enables us to continue our nearly two decades of work in social integration and skills development. Alongside regular training and social work, we organize fair play football championships and participate in international tournaments. The program also emphasizes preventing early pregnancy, reducing racist behavior, and developing digital skills.
PAdel Integration and DIGITAL Empowerment for NGO Advancement
2024.09.01 – 2025.08.31 As part of the Erasmus+ Mobility for Sports Professionals program, two young participants will take part in a 60‑day study visit in Saron, Spain.

The host organization in Spain is Permacultura Cantabria.
MONSTER
2024.01.01 – 2026.12.31 The MONSTER project brings together 5 organizations from 4 countries between 2024 and 2026. Its goal is to use the power of sport to raise awareness of sustainability principles, emphasizing individual responsibility for our environment. Thirty young adults from the four countries will act as ambassadors, participating in awareness‑raising sports events and workshops. The project aims to reach a wide audience, promote sustainable behavior, and demonstrate how sports events can be organized more sustainably.
PPSS – Progression Pathways in Social Sports
2024.01.25 – 2026.07.31 Initiated by Life Goal, this project aims to strengthen social cohesion and improve the inclusion of vulnerable groups through the power of sport. Motto: Move to inspire, inspire to move! Over two years, training programs will be implemented for socially disadvantaged people, enabling them to become social sports coaches and open new opportunities for their own and others’ development.
Policy Advocacy for Sport and Society – PASS (Erasmus Sport)
2024.01.01 – 2026.12.31 The European sports sector, and particularly the Sport for Development (SFD) movement, increasingly works to promote education and equality both within and through sport. Many organizations aim to enhance employability, shared values, peace, and inclusion by bringing different groups together, fostering social connections, encouraging civic participation, and developing life skills. However, many programs face challenges due to limited coordination and lack of support from political or institutional actors. The PASS project seeks to address this gap by developing a comprehensive toolkit and resources to strengthen awareness and advocacy capacity in this vital and growing field.
Football for Unity 2.0 – Team Up for Solidarity (AMIF)
2023.09.01 – 2025.08.31 This 24‑month program supports the social integration of refugees from Ukraine and young people from third countries through sport‑based activities (regular football training, Fair Play Football Roadshow, domestic and international championships, summer and training camps) combined with social work. The program is funded by the European Commission’s AMIF fund and coordinated by the UEFA Foundation for Children and Common Goal.
