Armenia & Tunisia: GOSPEL Creating social links through sport and good
governance
Location of Activities Armenia, Tunisia,
Theme Economic Development and Social Inclusion
Sector Integration of Minorities and Disadvantaged Groups
Duration 36 months
Total Budget EUR 529,450
EU Contribution EUR 423,560
Both Yerevan and Mahdia enjoy some renown for their sporting and
leisure activities. Yerevan has a number of football clubs and is also
famous for its chess players, while Mahdia is strong in handball.
Nonetheless, neither city has sufficient sports and recreational
facilities to satisfy the needs of its populations. Exacerbating this
problem is the fact that many of the available facilities are not open
and accessible to all.
Sports are not only important for health but also for the social
interactions they facilitate within a community. Women and young
people in particular have limited opportunities to enjoy recreational
activities in either city. This is particularly true in Mahdia, where
57% of the population is under 25 and where women do not have equal
access to leisure facilities and opportunities.
The project will address these concerns by promoting an exchange of
best practices in the management of recreational facilities, helping
to establish sites and sport facilities, exploring models of financing
and energy management, looking at ways to promote equality of access
for women and socially disadvantaged, and developing sports related
event and city marketing policies. Further, the project aims to
prepare a feasibility study for one pilot project in each city (e.g.
for the development of a public site into a recreational facility).
