Green League results

January 27, 2025

We are closing Green League project.

During 2 years so many results were produced alongside all the implemented events.

Green League Model
The Green League model is a framework that organisations can use to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. It is based on three main aspects: organisation, implementation, and promotion.

Case studies Collection
The Case Studies Collection is a set of environmentally-aware existing successful sport-based practices and initiatives at EU level. It is aimed at inspiring sport stakeholders to replicate the most successful sport practices that helps promote environmental and climate education.

Training Package
The Sport and Environment Training Package is aimed at building the capacity of sports professionals by promoting outdoor physical activity as a tool to educate people on environmental issues. The package contributes to the understanding of the effect sports have on the environment and planning and implementation of sports in harmony with nature and environment protection and preservation.

Additional training materials
Here can be found some additional materials that can be used together with the training package to provide a training on sport and environment.
Annex I – Characteristics of Ecosystems
Annex II – Potential threats to the ecosystems when performing sports
Annex III – Legislation and directives at the EU level
Annex IV – How Sports impact the environment the good and the bad
Annex V – How to plan and deliver activities and events in harmony with the environment
Annex VI – Potential of sport sector to raise awareness of the importance of green sport practices

Nature’s Four Elements Sports Events – Outlines
Outlines of Nature’s Four Elements Sports Events are designed to guide and support sport professionals, sport clubs and stakeholders during the management and execution of sports events combined with environmental reflection through the use of experiential learning, aiming at raising awareness on the link between sport and environment and in general on environmentally friendly practices.

Sport & Environment Local Championship Implementation Guide – Combining sport activity and environmental actions
The implementation guide provides guidelines on how to organise and implement sports activities together with environmental actions, in the form of local championships of team sports tournaments and relays with a mixed scoring system based on the results obtained during the sports tournaments and the scores obtained by the teams during a series of parallel environmental competitions.

 

Thank you to all partners and all participants of the project.

Why Out of the Box International

The seemingly ever-lasting depression of European economies has shaken the very foundations of many European societies. The shear rate of unemployment in Europe and the omnipresent environmental crisis coupled with the often frustratingly slow process of decision making in the EU, are calling for civil society actors to step in and fill the void.

In the aftermath of the 2008. economic crisis, the apprehension of falling under the spell of apathy of economic depression across the continent has not been easy to shake off. However, pinpointing the culprits for the current state of affairs on any particular EU decision maker is not the answer. Nonetheless, the fact remains that the current approach to the economic and environmental crisis hasn’t yet shown the affected citizens the light at the end of the tunnel.

As representatives of the civil society we feel the need to make our voice heard in the midst of the current debate on economic crisis. Being a social enterprise we offer new and feasible ideas in education and community work, creative cross-sectorial cooperation among different actors and strong networking coalitions to turn these dire economic challenges into possibilities through social entrepreneurship initiatives which aim at benefiting wide range of citizens, particularly vulnerable groups and those affected by the economic crisis.

Social entrepreneurship is a simple concept that has been put into practice by civil society actors for the benefit of a specific social group or people, and this is precisely what we want: to create projects and initiatives with fresh ideas in different policies, educational programs or tools, support businesses, empower cultural initiatives and offer different solutions to individuals, corporate bodies, everybody who believe that we can have more Creative, Innovative and Cohesive Europe.
