Exchange of good practice with partners from European countries through Erasmus+ programs continues at our school, this time in collaboration with the Center for Social Innovation (CSI) and within the framework of the Erasmus+ project 'VRIJE BALL FOR ALL' (free translation: "Free opportunities for everyone").
Korfball is a traditional Dutch sport (not so much known in Cyprus, Italy, and Croatia). It addresses the problem of gender inequality and gender stereotypes in sports as it is played in teams of mixed gender.
The project aims to promote gender equality through sports among students and to spread the use and the game of korfball among professionals in different countries. The training includes an introduction to the basic rules of korfball, management and organization of activities, observations of korfball training at a local club, as well as a discussion on gender equality, the inclusion of people with disabilities and special educational needs, and strategies to deal with other potential problems such as bullying.
