Edusportnet
2007 is the year of Edusportnet project, with which the laboratory together with Coni provincia di Forlì-Cesena has launched a study aimed at spreading knowledge regarding sports experiences in the pertinent province. With the use of telematic network we tried to spread physical education and knowledge about sports experience in schools, with a view to better knowledge of best practices in sports education. Starting from a draft law of the European Parliament in 2006, the goal of the initiative was to make physical education more and more important in schools. Young people educated to correct sport activity will be the future healthy citizens of tomorrow. Edusport.net is not only a container of socio-cultural information, meaning the initiatives are not only limited to increase sport awareness among young people, but Edusportnet also wants to bring out the solidarity value of sport for social integration typical of new multi-ethnic society and its utility as recovery of subjects in socially difficult situations.
