Projects are expected to develop and strengthen networks, facilitate peer learning, and promote the exchange and implementation of best practices at local, regional, national, and European levels. The action encourages projects that are reusable, transferable, scalable, and, where possible, transdisciplinary. The ultimate goal is to build capacity for transformation and change in organisations, open up to new actors, and address shared priorities in sport, education, and youth.
