Co-funded by the Erasmus + Programme of the European Union, the ETSGP Project aims to establish a comprehensive overview of the status of Traditional Sports and Games in Europe, from the 3 complementary perspectives of policy, research and practise.

Encourage heritage preservation and strong cultural identification at local, national and European levels
Strengthen the sense of ‘pride in being European\' in citizens across Europe.

Action Plan Summary:

Conduct an analysis of the current situation of TSG in Europe and publish an overview focussing on three key elements �\" policy, research and practice
Draw conclusions, identify key priorities and formulate recommendations for the safeguarding and promotion of European TSG
Define the ETSGP\'s scope of work, vision, mission, objectives, structure, strategy, activities and budget requirements
