ABOUT THE
PROJECT
The “Mermaids for Inclusion” project, supported by the European Union, exemplifies the transformative impact of sports in fostering social cohesion.
This initiative strategically incorporates finswimming into Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, extending beyond the conventional scope of sports. Its core objectives are to advocate for gender equality and promote the integration of ethnic and religious minorities, highlighting the critical role of sports in advancing inclusivity within the Western Balkans. Co-funded by the European Union and co-financed by the Government Office for Cooperation with NGOs, this project is a significant step toward fostering unity and equality in the region.
Project Goals
The objectives of the project are:
1. Develop skills for social involvement, focusing on disadvantaged groups and promoting common values, especially gender equality policies.
2. Equip sports staff and volunteers to establish finswimming as a new grassroots sport and introduce an inclusive approach in partnering organizations, emphasizing gender equality and inclusion of ethnic and religious minorities.
3. Address the needs of small grassroots organizations by providing knowledge on inclusion processes for disadvantaged groups and enhancing swimming schools to broaden their activities for higher sustainability, encouraging cross-organizational expertise exchange.
