“Public health is a domain of several actors, including the grassroots sport sector, from national and regional sport organisations to local sport clubs. I am honoured that ENGSO will contribute and co-create the new European Commission’s initiative Healthy Lifestyle 4 All. As a representative of the grassroots sport sector, with members from 32 countries, we will commit to promote the importance of inclusive and equal access to sport and physical activity for healthy lifestyle and mental well-being of people of all ages, with various backgrounds and from all social groups.”
– Stefan Bergh, ENGSO President
ENGSO pledged to create a concrete training dedicated to coaches at grassroots level in order to enable them in seeking the protection and promotion of mental wellbeing in sport to facilitate the access to sport to people with migrant backgrounds and foster their inclusion in society.
