🤝 Different Generations, One Team!

What happens when young people and seniors come together through sport?

New perspectives, shared experiences and opportunities to learn from one another! 💙
This is exactly what YouACA4Seniors is all about.
Our project brings together young leaders aged 18–30 and adults aged 55+ to create sport activities that encourage cooperation, participation and social connection.

Our approach is built around three goals:

🏃 MOVE – Encouraging active and healthy ageing.
🤝 CONNECT – Building relationships between generations.
💙 INCLUDE – Making sport accessible and welcoming for everyone.

Because sport is not just about staying physically active. It is also about belonging, connecting and growing together.

🇪🇺 Funded by the European Union.

On 20 October 2026, MAMA partners met at the Symplexis office in Athens to discuss the project’s next steps, with a particular focus on the upcoming training for coaches and female athletes.

Building on the knowledge and experiences gathered so far, we discussed how this training can address the needs of athlete mothers and equip coaches with practical tools to better support them.

Athlete mothers continue to face underrepresentation, discrimination and barriers throughout their sporting lives, from accessing appropriate support to finding opportunities to train and compete. Addressing these challenges requires change across the sport sector.

Through MAMA, we are working towards a shared European approach to making sport more inclusive and accessible, so that women can pursue their sporting ambitions alongside motherhood.

Thank you to Symplexis for hosting us and to all partners for the valuable discussions! 🤝

Months of work, and the story is not over yet!

Within the Erasmus+ project Sport Observatory, University of Lyon 1 () spent several months diving into the research on LGBTIQ+ hate speech in sport (Work Package 2).

What does the research say? Where are the blind spots? What can we learn from existing practices, in and out of sport?

We are not spoiling anything just yet, but we can say that this Research Review is a key building block of the LGBTIQ+ Sport Observatory.
The results will be shared once they are finalised, soon. Stay tuned! 🏳️‍🌈

🤝🌍 Making Friends, Building Connections!

The CSIT Congress in Aalborg is about more than meetings and decisions. It is also about bringing people together!

Participants from different countries, cultures and organisations come together as one international family, sharing experiences, exchanging ideas and creating new friendships.

Whether during meetings, over breakfast or in the moments in between, these connections are what make the CSIT family so special. 💙

Different countries, different backgrounds, one common passion: sport brings us together! 🏅

🎾🌍 The CSIT World Amateur Padel Championships return to San Marino!

On 24–25 October, Wonderbay hosted the second edition of the CSIT World Amateur Padel Championships, bringing together players from eight countries: Italy, San Marino, Spain, France, Brazil, Mexico, Senegal and China.

With four competition categories and Gold and Silver levels, the championship celebrated not only sporting competition but also international exchange, cultural connections and the spirit of amateur sport. 🤝

🇸🇲 Participants also had the opportunity to discover a taste of local tradition, with specially created PopRSM popcorn inspired by the colours of the San Marino flag.

Organised by San Marino Welcome and Trends in collaboration with CSIT and with the involvement of AICS, the event highlights the role of amateur sport in bringing people together and strengthening international connections.

Congratulations to everyone involved in making this second edition a success!
