The meeting opened with an update from Federico Palumbo (University of Limerick) on the Theory of Action Pilot Evaluation Report, set for completion in June 2025. This report, based on experiences using the Sport for All Certification Dashboard and Sport for All capacity building trainings, gathers feedback through interviews, surveys, and workshops.
Mayssa Bsaibes (International Table Tennis Federation Foundation) and Jörg Benner (European Flying Disc Federation) provided updates on capacity-building efforts within the project, highlighting ongoing and upcoming training initiatives. INTERACT+ has successfully met its goal, delivering seven Sport for All capacity-building training sessions to 164 participants from 89 international sport organizations and national federations across 55 countries. With these trainings now complete, the next objective is to develop an Impact Evaluation Report and refine the training toolkit based on lessons learned.
Fernando Parente (International University Sports Federation – FISU) shared updates and gathered feedback on the Sport for All Certification platform. Partners also explored strategies for sustaining the project beyond 2025.
As INTERACT+ moves forward, the collective efforts of its partners continue to drive meaningful change, reinforcing sport as a powerful tool for inclusion, empowerment, and social impact.
