During the event, the mobile app "Multisport Community Experience" was presented, which offers a complex and fun activity in the form of a game for all age groups. In order to do this, community members register on the MCE Project app, providing information about their level of physical activity as well as other lifestyle information, after which the app calculates individual scores and combines them into a community "health index." Individuals can earn points for their team by being physically active, participating in and organizing local social events. Thus, the MCE project has a dual purpose: to promote participation in sport as well as a person's sense of belonging and connection to the community.

One of the activities under the project is a research and need analysis, targeting all community members: from families to general public, from sport coaches and managers to sport clubs and municipality departments working in this field. The research aims at identifying the level and frequency of respondents’ participation in sport and/or physical activity; existing initiatives promoting participation in sport and active lifestyle, as well as barriers and limitations that prevent respondents from accessing these; apps and digital platform that respondents use to track their physical activity. The results of this research will allow the consortium to gain insight regarding the situation of their local communities with respect to participation in sport and level of exercising, so that the MCE can be implemented in such a way that meets as much as possible the needs of the community members, and that tackles existing issues with regard to physical exercise.

Multisport Community Experience is co-funded by Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.
