In a society that is becoming more and more individualistic, sport plays an important role. The “Sports and Citizenship” association deeply believes that the main virtues of sport (respect, sharing, solidarity) are universal and must be within society’s reach.

Many of the actions of the citizens are carried out to promote the values attached to sport but, often, they are the fruit of isolated initiatives and do not benefit from media promotion nor do they recieve the financial support they deserve. In addition, project promoters do not always have the means nor the time to optimize their actions. It is for that reason that we propose ourselves as a center of reflection and lobbying, as a unique reference resource for those involved in sports. That is why “Sports and Citizenship” has to convince those who make decisions (political, private, institutional decisions) about how useful the values of sports are and about their positive impact on society.

The “Changemakers” competition is related to the values we promote at the heart of the association. We have the same ambition: to change things and to bring about the best solutions to contemporary social problems. All of this with the help of sport.
