Including Via Ferrata is a mobility project of staff in the field of Sport, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
Embedded Files
In a novel initiative of the Erasmus+ Programme, namely the mobility of staff in the field of SPORT, our organisation embarked on a mission to empower six dedicated team members and volunteers with the clear goal: proficiently apply our French partner's (ASCU) approach, methodology, and procedures to organize Via Ferrata activities tailored to our local community.
Through focused training, these individuals not only honed their skills but also contributed to the ongoing development of ARAO's grassroots sports field. The emphasis was on conducting high-quality, eco-friendly grassroots sports activities—specifically, Via Ferrata. The objective was to foster inclusivity and diversity among participants, ensuring a positive impact on both the environment and the community.
This journey didn't stop there. ARAO, recognizing the importance of collaboration, worked to strengthen ties with ASCU and other grassroots organizations. The collaborative effort aimed at fostering the exchange of expertise and cooperation. As a result, ARAO increased its capacity to promote European values, including environmental protection and the principles of inclusion and diversity.
The job-shadowing experience for ARAO's members and volunteers proved exceptionally valuable for our initiatives. It provided insights into innovative approaches for expanding Via Ferrata activities within our local community, fostering a more open and inclusive environment. The knowledge gained during this experience has greatly enhanced our ability to engage the community and make our activities more accessible to all.
