On the Olympic Day, EL recalls the significant contribution of EL Members to the Olympic Movement and calls for further dissemination of the Olympic Values world-wide

Lotteries in Europe have been enthusiastically supporting the Olympic movement in many different ways and for a long period, be it through support to the hosting of the Games, structural contribution to their NOCs or support to projects seeking to disseminate Olympic values.

After 18 months of intensive work, the Council of Europe (CoE) along with its Partners concluded on June 16 in Strasbourg the project “Keep Crime out of Sport” (KCOOS). The European Lotteries Association was a key partner in this project. The KCOOS project had the objective to support states in implementing the key provisions of the Macolin Convention, notably the setting up of national platforms, the sharing of information among key stakeholders, the development of education and prevention initiatives.

On the World Refugee Day, EL recalls that grassroots sport can be a significant tool for social integration and empowerment.

With society being one of the core values of EL, and with the refugee crisis being on the increase, EL strongly recalls that sport can have a role in the social integration and trauma-relief of refugees in Europe. EL recently awarded and provided support to a grassroots sport club that uses sport and physical activity to integrate young refugees in the society, and at the same time has a supporter status to the ASPIRE project, a project that seeks to make sport clubs and their sport facilitators more open, accessible and inclusive, especially with regards to the integration of refugees.
