Location and general information
Context
This project is a follow-up to Generation Sport in 2021, which was a huge success throughout the country. In August 2021, Armenia had 1,403 schools with 368,184 pupils: 175,359 girls and 192,825 boys.
The lack of suitable equipment and the bad state of repair of the sports facilities hamper the PE classes that the children enjoy so much.
The armed conflict in 2020 took its toll on the children, who now need positive, fun experiences.
Project content
The project will promote sport among young people and encourage physical eduction throughout the country. Twenty-five schools will be selected to receive sports equipment. Events will be organised to promote sport and exercise among the school-age population. Organised meet-and-greets with sports personalities will motivate the youngsters and encourage them to fulfil their potential. The project will help promote the inclusion of disabled children in sporting activities.
