THE “Sport and Integration” PROJECT is a project made by Sport e Salute S.p.A. and funded by Ministry of Labor and Social Policies, from the National Fund for Migration Policies 2021. The initiative was born in the context of a program agreement, signed between the Minister of Labor and Social Policies and the Minister for Youth Policies and Sport in 2020, for the definition of a multi-year plan of interventions that promote sport as a tool for dialogue, social inclusion and the fight against discrimination. The project finds its declination in specific interventions aimed at enhancing the role of sport as a tool for inclusion, supporting the creation of virtuous networks and promoting good practices in the sports world and the third sector, also in order to promote the cohesion of local communities .
To give a greater impetus to the project, the FIGCacross the Youth and School Sectorthe campaign claimed “I come from sports” with other various territorial initiatives and in particular through the contest #IOVENGODALLOSPORT.
