Successful Completion of the PACE Project in a special event in Sofia, Bulgaria

The European project PACE (Physical Activity Connecting Generations) was successfully completed, bringing together three of Europe’s most active multi-sport clubs: Olympiacos, Lazio Teqball, and Levski Sport for All. Under the auspices of the European Union and in collaboration with the European Multi-Sport Club Association (EMCA), the project aimed to promote intergenerational unity through physical activity.

PACE demonstrated how sports can effectively serve as a tool for enhancing social cohesion and bridging generational gaps. Through targeted activities and specialized training programs, participants were able to bring families closer together, showcasing the value of shared athletic experiences. Trained coaches played a vital role by organizing family-oriented sports events, offering unique moments for parents and children to connect.

The conclusion of the project was celebrated with a special event in Sofia, Bulgaria, where the collaborating partners presented the results and positive impact of the activities. Representatives from the participating clubs emphasized the importance of sports as a vehicle for fostering intergenerational bonds and reaffirmed their commitment to continuing such initiatives.

EMCA extends its heartfelt thanks to the European Union for supporting the project, as well as to all those who contributed to the uniqueness and success of PACE. EMCA members, including Olympiacos, Lazio Teqball, and Levski Sport for All, remain dedicated to the values of social cohesion and inclusion, enthusiastically planning their next steps to strengthen the role of multi-sport clubs in European society.
