EMCA Connect: DigiRoot Presented in Piraeus

At the recent EMCA Connect event in Piraeus, the DigiRoot project took centre stage in front of 30 representatives from multisport clubs across Europe. The session provided an excellent opportunity to showcase how digital tools can support the daily work and long-term sustainability of grassroots sports clubs.

Malte Kalsbach led the presentation, offering participants a deep dive into DigiRoot’s objectives and the practical ways digitalisation can support clubs—from simplifying administration to enhancing communication and education. One of the standout moments was a demonstration of how clubs can use digital avatars to produce multilingual videos, making educational content more accessible and engaging.

The presentation sparked immediate discussion among participants. Many clubs were curious about how to start applying these tools in their own environments, while important topics around data security and digital regulations were also raised—highlighting the relevance and timeliness of DigiRoot’s work.

All attending clubs were invited to complete the DigiCheck, a tool to assess their current digital status, and to register on the DigiRoot website to stay informed about new developments, tools, and learning resources.
