Two different Guidelines will be created:
• Sport and School Education.
The guidelines will focus on the importance of promoting sport at school level and will provide indications to policy makers for this purpose. The guidelines will also propose how to enhance the integration between schools activities (both curricular and extracurricular) and sport activities in order to break the invisible barrier that often presents school and sport themselves as incompatible. The Guidelines will set principles, suggest necessary steps and solutions, based on the best practices in the field at European level to promote sport and physical activities as a beneficial tool for enhancing school educational offer and not as a menace.
• Education for an ethic based Sport.
The guidelines will focus on how to promote an ethic based approach to sport, illustrating what to do, through reference to successful experiences in the field, to overcome the hypercompetitive approach to sport that too often Media and society diffuse and promote and that leads too often to the need to succeed and therefore to bypass rules (e.g. doping, match fixing etc) to achieve the goal
