25.02.2023
In the period 24-24 of February 2023 was held “Fit For Kids Europe” training for sport coaches, in which on behalf of BSDA took part Joanna Dochevska, Ivaylo Zdravkov, Ivelina Kirilova and Ivan Ivanov. “Fit For Kids Europe” is a co-funded by the European Commission Executive Agency in the scope Erasmus+ Sport Collaborative Partnership Action. Project life time is consisting of 3 and a half years between 01.01.2020 – 30.06.2023. The main goal of the project ”Fit for Kids Europe” is to establish a network of EU sport associations and other related NGO’s who wish to collaborate on increasing the participation of inactive, overweight and obese children in after-school organised physical activities.
With this Collaboration we intend to reach this main goal by combining three actions:
1) Expand the FitforKids programme;
2) Present FitforKids as a best-in-class case study and true driver for volunteer based social/health programmes;
3) Recognition of the ethnic Turks living in EU Member States.

Through the Erasmus+ co-funded initiative, the Program will be applied as well in Bulgaria, Italy, Portugal and Turkey. The FitforKids’ Program is a community based multi-component lifestyle intervention implemented in Denmark aimed at increasing the overall health of the family as well as reducing BMI and body fat with the children.

The FitforKids program consists of five elements: Nutritional advice, Physical training for both children and parents, Parent Coaching, a Motivational program and Social Events. FitforKids is completely free for the families and it supported by many private and public institutions, including the Danish government.
