Equal GEMS
Girls' Empowerment through Sport, is a €250000 Erasmus+ Sport project working with secondary schools in Italy, Portugal, Ireland, and Hungary to tackle gender inequality in physical education.
The project trains 60 PE teachers and coaches in gender-sensitive teaching approaches, supports students to set up their own Student Sports Clubs where they design activities based on their interests and abilities, and develops practical tools including a comprehensive toolkit for educators, digital assessment tools to track students' PE experiences, and 20+ ready-to-use activity cards tested in real classrooms. We're focusing particularly on inactive girls who currently avoid PE due to body anxiety, negative peer dynamics, or lack of choice in what they do.
All resources will be freely available in four languages.
VIEWS
VIEWS is a €400000 Erasmus+ Sport project bringing together partners from across Europe to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities as volunteers in sport organizations and events. Through collaborative research, partner organizations have identified and documented best practices in inclusive volunteering, conducted surveys with people with disabilities and sport clubs to understand barriers and enablers, and developed practical resources to help sport organizations create meaningful volunteer opportunities for people of all abilities. The project demonstrates that people with disabilities bring valuable skills and perspectives to sport volunteering roles—from event management and athlete support to coaching and administration—and that inclusive volunteering benefits not only the volunteers themselves through skill development and social connection, but also enriches sport organizations and challenges societal stereotypes about disability and contribution.
Wellbeing In Schools
The Wellbeing In Schools project aims to improve wellbeing and resilience of students and teachers by implementing Mindfulness-Based Intervention (MBI) practices in primary schools. An MBI mobile app will be created to be used by both students and teachers, as well as an MBI toolkit for teachers to use in the classroom.
These resources will provide guidelines, examples and tools for implementing personalised MBI practices within the school curriculum. We anticipate an improvement in student and teacher wellbeing, improved educational outcomes for students and reduced teacher stress as a result of the project.
PABA
Preschool Applied Behaviour Analysis (PABA) aims to equip preschool teachers with the knowledge and skills to reduce harmful or dangerous behaviours among autistic children at early ages, with a view to bolstering their inclusion and educational participation in the future.
INSIDE and the partnership are developing a comprehensive handbook for preschool teachers to deliver behaviour management strategies in their classroom, and a training guide for schools to train teachers using the handbook. A digital game is also being developed that enables teachers to explore the impacts of different behaviour management strategies through simulated classroom scenarios.
PErfect
The PErfect project aims to enhance the education of students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in physical education (P.E.) classes by developing a comprehensive set of resources and tools for P.E. teachers. Based on a comprehensive needs analysis of over 400 PE teachers, the free resources include an assessment tool tailored for children with ASD, a PE goal bank to guide teachers, a guidebook with 28 lesson plans with inclusive adaptations, and a P.E. toolkit, all on an accessible e-learning platform.
TMA4ALL
TMA4ALL seeks to transform the martial arts sector by developing the first evidence-based concept of fully inclusive, grassroots traditional martial arts. INSIDE and the partners will develop and test a series of resources that empower martial arts coaches to use their sports as bio-psychosocial wellbeing interventions for disabled and disadvantaged participants.
These outputs include online learning modules and a toolkit on the theory and practice of traditional martial arts coaching, and a mobile app with AI supporting coaches to teach inclusive martial arts.
Houses4Autism
Houses4Autism aims to improve independent living skills among autistic individuals by borrowing principles and practices from supportive housing environments and replicating these through a VR game.
The project also involves the creation of a curriculum for adult educators to develop independent living skills among autistic adults, and a handbook for educational institutions to train educators to deliver the curriculum.
Green Dojos
Green Dojos is an Erasmus+ KA2 Sport project uniting partners in Portugal, Ireland, Bulgaria, Italy and Türkiye to encourage healthy lifestyles for all by connecting physical activity with environmental stewardship in everyday public spaces. The project focuses especially on inactive adults aged 55+ who face barriers such as isolation, limited local provision, or financial constraints, and it turns parks, beaches, forests and riversides into welcoming “green dojos” for movement, belonging and community care.
Across a 24-month programme, partners co-design a non-competitive, martial-arts-inspired approach with 60+ stakeholders (including expert input), then deliver a cascade training model to certify 120 trainers who can run sessions locally. The project produces practical tools for trainers and decision-makers, including a Green Dojos Handbook and Digital Toolkit with video tutorials, interactive modules, templates and implementation guides, alongside advocacy outputs such as a white paper, policy briefs and a shared manifesto for longer-term uptake.
CIGTEY
CIGTEY is a Erasmus+ KA220 Youth cooperation project funded at €120,000, delivered by partners in Poland, Ireland, Ukraine and Turkey. It aims to strengthen inclusion and active citizenship among young people with fewer opportunities by helping youth work settings build practical confidence with civic and GovTech approaches, so young people can engage more effectively with their communities and the issues that shape their lives.
The project will create an accessible, scribing-based e-book in English, Polish, Ukrainian and Turkish, alongside an online training pathway for youth workers and a leadership programme for young people that can be used directly in everyday youth work practice. It will directly train 32 youth workers and engage 72 young people aged 18–30, then extend its reach through four national Youth Forums (120+ participants in total) and online dissemination targeting at least 1,000 e-book views/downloads.
