Move Project

The International Sport and Culture Association (ISCA) has joined forces with 
 eight associated partners and fifteen collaborating partners  to take up the 
challenge of promoting physical activity among socially disadvantaged groups. 
To this aim, ISCA has been granted by the European Commission - under the 
Health Programme 2008-2013 “Together for Health”-  for the implementation 
of the Move Project.

The MOVE project aims to collect and qualify good practices that promote 
heath-enhancing physical activity among socially disadvantaged groups. In 
this effort,  the project will focus on experiences that have been successful 
in targeting the following groups living in disadvantaged urban or rural 
areas with socioeconomic challenges: youth, ethnic minorities and immigrants, 
girls and women, seniors.

With the call for good practices, the MOVE partners invite organizations and 
institutions working in diverse fields such as physical activity and sport, 
health, education, urban planning and citizenship, among others, to submit 
descriptions of their own physical activity initiatives and projects that are 
aimed at socially disadvantaged groups. The call will give priority to 
project experiences from Europe, but also project experiences coming  from 
outside Europe are welcomed.

To this aim, the University of Cassino (UNICAS) was invited by ISCA to 
conduct the data collection process and the dissemination of the call of good 
practices.

Knowing the international experience that your Organization has gained in the 
field of promotion physical activity as means of social intervention among 
socially disadvantaged groups, ISCA and  UNICAS kindly invite you to consider 
the opportunity to submit your project experience(s) that are eligible for 
inclusion in this collection process.

Submitting your project experience(s) presents an opportunity for your work 
to be recognized as the one of 200 good practices that will be collected . 
The collected project experiences will be analyzed and valorized by renowned 
universities against a pre-defined set of quality standards with a view to 
identifying good practices. Project experiences qualifying as good practices, 
them, will be published in a database on the MOVE website (www.wemoveyou.eu) 
and in a handbook that will be disseminated worldwide. The MOVE website will 
feature the logo, a brief description and a link to the website of each of 
the organizations behind the good practices. A number of the good practices 
will be featured in the MOVE2013 congress to be held in Barcelona in October 
2013. All costs of travel and accommodation for the presenter will be paid 
for.

We kindly invite you to collect further information by the official web-site 
http://www.wemoveyou.eu/.

In the case you will consider the opportunity to submit your project 
experiences (s), we want to offer our a direct support. For information about 
the submission form, the information collection process and any other related 
issues , please consider the opportunity to agree on a direct exchange via
