SUBJECT: WELCOME TO EUROPEAN WEEK OF JUDO VALUES
PROJECT: EUROPEAN WEEK OF JUDO VALUES
ABOUT TO LAUNCH
As you might know, a bond our organization has with sports is long-lasting and above all, meaningful. We have always tried to operate on the basis of sports-for-all paradigm. Not only at the level of physical activity, but especially at the level of values and value sport has for everyday life, individuals, communities, society. It is never just about sports.
Judo is a perfect example of good practice. Technical and value-wise. Dojo inevitably creates an atmosphere where Friendship, Honour, Respect, Modesty, Politeness, Courage, Self-control, Sincerity, Inclusion come in play. As an educational tool, it deserves more attention and exploration of potential it has to transform society.
As we want to nurture values of sports and especially Judo, we have applied for Erasmus+ project, in collaboration with historical and professional sports organizations from Slovenia’s Sports Society GIB (Športno društvo GIB), Croatia’s Rječki sportski savez to Portugal’s Escola de Judo Nuno Delgado.
COOPERATION
Professionals, coaches, young Judokas, parents, organizations, everyone.
Project is supported by national/European Judo organizations – Slovenian Judo Federation, Federacao Portugesa de Judo, Croatian Olympic Committee and European Judo Union.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Promoting ethical and healthy values through the practice of Judo. To emphasize a potential Judo has as an educational tool not just for Judo community but for general public, society and peace.
PLAYING FOR PEACE
Un underlying theme of this year’s events, workshops and other activities.
ACTIVITIES
A specific open-source toolkit “Ethical and Healthy Values in Judo” (including a curricular framework, curriculum, manual and didactic resources) and an e-learning courses, aimed at the judo community and general public, based on benchmarking and created by professionals, will be created. It will serve to educate for healthy values to whomever wants to use it.
EVENTS
We will organize3 simultaneous events in Ljubljana (Slovenia), Rijeka (Croatia) and Lisbon (Portugal). This autumn, we will align them with European Week of Sport, lasting from 23.9–30.9.
OUR PURPOSE
Inclusion. Against discrimination in sport and social life. Everyone is welcomed!
Legacy. We want to push the legacy Judo had for centuries even further and wider. We strive to make a lasting impact from the project, by making it an annual event.
A reminder. Judo is a tool, but also a reminder – peace is something that needs practice to become a natural living condition of peoples.
