Additionally, it plans to involve over 700 people through presentations, meetings, and conferences, further broadening its impact. The project creates a Network of Basketball Veterans of SEE which underlines commitment to essential EU principles, such as non-discrimination and tolerance, while promoting sportsmanship and inclusive practices within sports. This multifaceted approach does not only seek to increase sports participation and tackle discrimination; it also aims to cultivate a broad-based culture of health and equality. The establishment of a network, combined with strategic partnerships and the development and definition of strategic directions, underpins the overall project objective to promote sports, healthy lifestyles and inclusion through sports for people of all ages and to create a cooperation network of basketball veterans clubs to promote and encourage active aging to people living in South Eastern Europe."
