How to use sport and physical activity to improve the wellbeing of disadvantaged children and young people

A Training package for Icehearts Europe Mentors

Who is behind Icehearts Europe?

ISCA and the Finnish long-term support programme for vulnerable children and young people, Icehearts Finland, joined forces with 10 partners –representing 8 different EU countries - to launch a Europe-wide expansion of this successful initiative, backed by an EU4Health Action grant. Starting in 2023, the project will last for 3 years and be tested in 5 pilot countries: Denmark, Estonia, Italy, Slovenia and Spain.
