The promotion of Volleyball at the grassroots level is one of the top priorities set by the CEV leadership. After much success with the CEV School Project, we are pleased to integrate a continuation of the initiative under the new slogan, "Play Volleyball, grow with it 2.0". The "2.0" educational programme will introduce new concepts for children ages 6 to 14 years old, while highlighting social inclusion and equal opportunity in sport - making yet another large step towards our strategic goal to grow the game.
Such is the scale and relevance of this action that the European Commission is providing funding once again through their Erasmus+ programme, a truly unprecedented feat in European Volleyball history.
The EU-funded project is a truly unique opportunity to bring together a number of stakeholders from the Volleyball family and beyond in an effort to grow the game at the grassroots level, and leave a lasting legacy that will inspire the next generation of Volleyball players. We are partnered with the following organizations and national federations:
