RISE (Roma Inclusion through Sport in Europe) was a joint initiative of European sport and civil society organisations to tackle discrimination, social exclusion and marginalisation of Roma youngsters through exchanging of good practices, capacity building activities and the development and implementation of sport-based educational activities. The key objective of the project was to promote social inclusion, equal opportunities and awareness of disadvantaged situation of the Roma minority through sport-based education activities. RISE was a 18-months long Small Collaborative Partnership framed under the Erasmus+ Sport priority “encouraging social inclusion and equal opportunities in sport” addressing the needs of underprivileged young EU citizens and organisations dealing with this target group.
