The FONTES (FOstering New TEchniques for Social integration through Sport) project is a European initiative under the Erasmus+ Sport 2025 programme that uses sport as a tool for social integration and intercultural cooperation. Through the collaboration of sports organisations, educational institutions, and community stakeholders from six European countries, the project aims to support young people with migrant backgrounds and individuals at risk of social exclusion. FONTES promotes the values of equality, inclusion, and active participation by developing innovative educational tools and activities designed for multicultural environments and diverse social communities.

The FONTES project is implemented within the framework of the Erasmus+ Sport programme, with a duration of 30 months and a total budget of €400,000. Its main objective is to promote social integration through sport, focusing on young people with migrant backgrounds and communities facing social and cultural challenges. The project brings together seven organisations from Belgium, Greece, Italy, Spain, Germany, and Portugal, working collaboratively to develop and implement innovative educational practices.

As part of the project, a digital training platform will be created, providing educational materials, methodologies, and practical tools for coaches, volunteers, and sports organisations operating in multicultural environments. In addition, training activities, pilot actions, and international sports events will be organised, involving more than 1,000 young participants. Through these activities, FONTES seeks to strengthen intercultural dialogue, social cohesion, and equal participation opportunities for all, regardless of cultural or religious background. The project also promotes European values such as inclusion, non-discrimination, gender equality, and active citizenship through sport.
