Within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme, funding is also allocated to the so called “Centralised Actions” which are administered by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
This Action aims to foster support the organisation of sport events, the implementation of the EU strategies on social inclusion through sport, encouraging volunteering in sport, fight against discrimination in sport and the promotion of sport and physical activity.
Not-for-profit European sport events can take place in a single country with participants from other countries (European-wide events) or may consist of separate events in each participating country (European local events).
