Preparatory action to prevent and fight violence in football
The European Forum for Urban Security (Efus) is planning to submit a project in the framework of the call for proposals ‘Preparatory action in the field of sport 2011’. The aim of the project will be to develop a specific network to prevent and fight violence in football, at professional and amateur levels.
Building on existing partnership
The Efus will build this project on the existing partnership of the Goal project (2008-2012) but wishes to expand and sustain this network by integrating all local authorities and NGOs active in this field.
Efus to act as a bridge between local, at national, European and international levels
Following the Council of Ministers of the EU recommendations,
the Efus wants to position itself as a privileged interlocutor of
the European institutions, bringing together many cities in its
network – and beyond – who have developed local actions in the
field. The outcome will be the establishment of a long-lasting
forum for exchange and discussion in Europe. Moreover, the Efus
will act as a bridge between the local level and the numerous
actors and institutions involved in this field at national,
European and international levels.
The project will be submitted on July 29th 2011.
Please, do not hesitate to contact Efus for additional information
or if you wish to take part in this project.
