Project “My Sport is Franja” was selected at the Erasmus+ Sport call in 2015. The main goal is to establish the Franja Academy in 2016 and 2017 with partners from Italy, Austria, Croatia and Slovakia. My Sport is Franja wants to connect sport and culture, present best practices and achieve a sustainable model from 2018 onwards. The project’s aim is to promote the name Franja within the European Union as a synonym for good practices in sport. In collaboration with UNESCO Slovenia and partners we start a network for future join projects in the field of sport and cultural heritage. It's a platform in development. We're keen to transform our past experiences and leading role in the cycling community into a new international identity, foster intercultural dialog and develop new international projects.
 

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

As an organization KD ROG can support initiatives in the Ljubljana area where the club works with over thirty primary schools. KD ROG also looks to promote European ideas through its seminars and Franja Academy.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

KD Rog’s interest is to promote human values in sport through sport activities. Cultural heritage is very much connected to Maraton Franja and KD ROG collaborates with cultural institutions to share common values. When KD ROG was selected for the Erasmus+ Sport call in 2015 the club already made a plan how and what it needs to do to promote European values, cultural heritage and good governance in sport for the general public, youth and volunteers.
Joining ALF would mean one step forward in this direction as KD Rog is looking forward to work with international partners with similar goals. Developing Franja Academy as a platform within the international community is one of the main reasons to join AFL. KD Rog wants to be able to share knowledge, to learn from other members and to work on topics such as human values, intercultural dialog and gender equality which are very important to our members and organization in general.
