#SAFERTOGETHER

SAFE HARBOUR project aims to boost the capacity of the European sports movement to respond to safeguarding concerns and violations by classifying safeguarding responses within and across Europe. Thus, informing the creation of National Strategies, a European Response framework, and a European Network for Safe Sports (ENSS).

The SAFE HARBOUR project will run from January 2025 to June 2027 - under the guidance of the EOC EU Office. SAFE HARBOUR gathers a prestigious consortium involving, International Federations (International Biathlon Union, International Ice Hockey Federation) European NOCs (Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia), the IOC, and experts and researchers from Thomas More and Asser Institute

The SAFE HARBOUR project is a Cooperation Partnership co-financed by the European Commission through the Erasmus+ Programme 2024.
