About project BESST
The project Building European Safe Sport Together (BESST) is funded by the Erasmus+ programme from the European Commission. BESST developed a unified definition for the foundation of a European sports environment free of transgressive behaviours. With strong partners delivering academic research, a continent-wide network of organisations for dissemination, legal and project management, events delivery and sports organisations, the project has a full circle range of professionals with four key deliveries that effectively raise the maturity of the European sports on its safeguarding readiness.
The BESST project team consists of the following organisations: European Olympic Academies, IGNITX, Windesheim University of Applied Sciences, Rudi Hiti Academy, UEFA Foundation for Children, NOC of Netherlands (NOC*NSF), and NOC of Slovenia.
The project aimed:
- To develop a modern definition of transgressive behaviour in sport, with an extensive literature review of the most recent studies.
- To assess the statuses level of European sports organisations and event organisers.
- To develop legal frameworks with policies and procedures proposal for European sports organisations.
- To provide an awareness and education tool kit, facilitating the entities to use their communications channels to educate their communities about transgressive behaviour.
