IOC call for projects : Sport and Active Society 2021
In accordance with the Olympic Agenda 2020, the IOC’s strategic roadmap for the future of the Olympic Movement, the IOC awarded its first "Sport and Active Society" development grants in 2016. Every year since then, it has renewed its commitment to making communities more active and inclusive through sport by supporting projects that promote the physical and mental well-being of people of all ages.
Overview
The International Olympic Committee’s call for “Sport and Active Society” projects aims to promote sport for all and its social and health benefits. Through its Sport and Active Society Commission and the development grants it awards each year, the IOC will provide additional resources in 2021 to grassroots organisations that use sport and physical activity to tackle social issues, including sport and health, social inclusion, gender equality and combating climate change
