SPORT@STREET
Social inclusion through calisthenics
Calisthenics, also known as Street Workout is a bodyweight sport that is accessible by anyone, everywhere. The low barrier of entry and scalability to all fitness levels makes it the ideal sport to promote a healthy lifestyle.
The sport is rapidly gaining popularity around the globe as a social movement, especially amongst young people. We aim to involve as many people as possible in this social sport.
To combat the social exclusion of socially disadvantaged youth, particularly in urban areas, Sport@Street was created. A project with a partnership of experienced Calisthenics and Street Workout organizations and Co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
Sport@Street promotes the synergy between youth policies, sport and, social inclusion. So that everyone has a chance to experience the benefits of Calisthenics!
