This Action aims to support the organisation of sport events with a European dimension in the following fields:

• Volunteering in sport;
• Social inclusion through sport;
• Fight against discrimination in sport, including gender equality;
• Encouraging healthy lifestyle for all: projects under this priority will mainly focus on:
  a) the implementation of the three pillars of the HealthyLifestyle4All initiative,
  b) the implementation of the Council Recommendation on health-enhancing physical activity and the EU Physical Activity Guidelines,
• c) the support to the implementation of the European Week of Sport,
  d) the promotion of sport and physical activity as a tool for health,
  e) the promotion of all activities encouraging the practice of sport and physical activity,
  f) promotion of traditional sport and games.

As this action aims at supporting large scale events with a very high impact, the grant amount is expected to range between EUR 1 million and 2 million. The grant awarded may be lower than the amount requested. The grant will be budget-based, with actual and unit costs as well as flat-rate elements. It will support certain types of eligible costs actually incurred for the projects. The detailed grant parameters (maximum grant amount, funding rate, eligible costs, etc.) will be fixed in the Grant Agreement. The costs will be reimbursed at the funding rate fixed in the Grant Agreement (80%).

Financial support to third parties is not allowed.

Volunteer and SME costs are allowed. Please refer to Part C of this Programme Guide, to the section on ‘Eligible Direct Costs’.
