About the project
VALUE OF JUDO VALUES
Sport has never been a mere objective physical and technical performance. Judo serves as a value navigation system for individuals and communities. It is based on its core values: Friendship, Honora, Respect, Modesty, Politeness, Courage, Self-control, Sincerity …. Values, if developed interpersonally, impact everyday lives of members of Judo community in a positive direction towards better quality of life, also by promoting health through physical activity.
JUDO IS FOR ALL, JUDO IS FOR YOU
But it is not only limited to Judo communities. Benefits of practicing martial art exceed individual level – sport and Judo serve as a great tool for maximizing social inclusion, integration of community.
Ethical aspect of Judo needs a recognition of its potential but also an awareness it doesn’t solve problems by default.
As a pedagogical process and a tool it needs to be applied intentionally, systematically, at intersection of physical activity and conscious transmission of values. Pedagogical value of Judo is often overlooked by sports clubs and associations.
The project practically aims to address and solve problem mentioned by creating a Judo toolkit and e-learning course, to promote awareness of values of Judokas, judo clubs and general public.
In accordance to that, annual activities and events will be organized in Lisbon, Ljubljana and Rijeka. Activities will join in time of European Week of Sport, between 23. 9. – 30. 9. 2023.
Our theme this year is PLAYING FOR PEACE.
