OUR LONG-TERM LEGACY

  1. DEVELOP A LEGACY OF GOOD PRACTICES FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICE, WITH VALUES AND MORE SUSTAINABILTY
  2. TO PROVIDE TOOLS TO EDUCATORS, COACHES AND AGENTS, WHICH WILL HELP TO DEVELOP NEW APPROACHES TO THE VALUES OF JUDO IN TRAINING, IN PARALLEL WITH SCHOOL AND THE DAY-TO-DAY LIFE OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE.

2nd Transnational project meeting of partners in Ljubljana (17. – 18. 7. 2023)

Judo is more than just a sport. It has a great impact on the lives of individual and the society. The core values of judo are therefore also important values for life outside of the dojo.

This was the main standpoint of our day one of the 2nd Transnational project meeting of partners in Ljubljana (17. – 18.7.2023) at Športno društvo GIB.

The second day of the meeting we connected our international partners with the Slovenian Judo Federation – we had a great discussion with Mr. Galuf Lovrencij, President of the Slovenian Judo Federation, which supported the project European week of judo values.

This project really has connected individuals and organizations committed to sports and education. ❗If you are also a part of sports and education sector or you have an affinity towards this area, we invite you to follow our project on our social networks.
