Play Volleyball, Grow With It 2.0 (PVGW 2.0) builds on the foundations of the original PVGW initiative, with both projects supported by the European Commission. PVGW 2.0 expanded the educational programme to a broader age group—children aged 6 to 14—while embedding social inclusion and equal opportunity at its core.
Designed with a strong focus on legacy, the project aims to create a lasting impact for coaches and teachers beyond its lifetime. Grassroots volleyball development remains a key priority of the CEV leadership.
The project was implemented from 2023 to 2025 in collaboration with a strong consortium of partners, including:
- German Sport University of Cologne (DSHS)
- European Observatoire of Sport and Employment (EOSE)
- Macedonian Society of Penology (MSP)
- National Federation members from Austria, Iceland, Ireland, and Romania.
