The Erasmus+ project "Virtual Reality Approach to Anti-Doping Learning" (ViRAL) aims to promote innovative and impactful anti-doping education through a virtual reality game targeting competitive and recreational athletes. New technologies can greatly increase the acceptance and impact of anti-doping education among a variety of target groups. Through the development of a Virtual Reality program, VIRAL project recognizes the need to move forward and improve the way anti-doping education is developed, delivered, and assessed.
In May 2023, Sheffield Hallam University hosted the fourth meeting of the VIRAL project in Sheffield. Partners met and discussed the project activities, and they planned the evaluation of the VR game and the train the trainers activities. In the coming weeks, the VR game will be implemented and evaluated and tested, and trainers will be supported to integrate VR in their anti-doping.
The next project meeting will take place in November 2023 in Greece. For more information and updates, you can visit the project website.
ENSE is happy to announce that the transnational report of the INCLUDE project has been released!
INCLUDE is an Erasmus+ project that aims to tackle and root out discriminatory behaviours from youth sports and contribute to making sports safe and accessible for all youth and children.
The transnational report is based on desk and field research in all partners countries with the involvement of sports professionals, coaches, and trainers as well as sport stakeholders via focus groups and online surveys. The results are formed from results and findings in the 4 national reports addressing discrimination in grassroots youth sports in each partner country.
