Ciclabili Siciliane

Associazione Ciclabili Siciliane is a non-profit organisation that aims at promoting bicycle tourism as an opportunity for social, cultural and economic growth in Sicily and at disseminating the positive values linked to cycling and to the exploration of the territory and the encounter and cultural exchange with its people. It was founded by two passionate bicycle travellers who returned to Sicily after a long bicycle trip across Europe and Morocco in search of a new home. They decided to return and do something to make Sicily a better place to live in rather than changing home. After having gained first-hand information about how cycle tourism works in other European countries and Morocco, the founders realized that Sicily had the potential to become a bicycle tourism destination and hence benefit from its economic and social outcomes, especially in remote areas with few or no job opportunities at all for young people, but it lacked the necessary grassrotos initiatives, infrastructure and policies.

The project will seek to establish the synergy between sports and social elements to promote Equal Opportunity, Social Inclusion and other progressive EU values to geographically deprived people, refugees and youths in Juvenile Foster care who usually lack access to sports activities due to various reasons. Specifically there are four main objectives:
• To make sports easily accessible goods for everyone regardless of their background
• To equip participants with sound practical knowledge and skills to practice sports,
• To demonstrate European social values through their sport participation
• To produce a guideline for how to best involve and train geographically disadvantaged people

The project shall result in two principal outputs:
(1) Sports Training courses with 04 Modules (Badminton - Futsal - Cycling - Basketball) in three countries (Italy, Portugal and Turkey);
and (2) A series of Friendly matches and group bike-riding tour in each three selected countries.
In the end, Sports Runway will produce also a Social Sports Training manual and will make effective use of the cross-sectoral partnership to spread its impact, especially reaching political level for a good sustainability.
