Small Collaborative Partnerships – Bocce for Everyone from 7 to 70

We have started our project with the Kick-off Meeting in Bucharest, Romania where we hosted our project partners from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Turkey. Our objective was to setup all phases for a succesful project implementation where people from the rural areas will have great experience in playing the game Bocce. At the end, we will develop also an international bocce tournament.

Mid Term meeting in Sarajevo 🇧🇦

Each partner organsation implemented at local and regional level different educational sport activities for the communities from the rural area.

In Romania, with the kind support of City Hall and Public Library of the village Contesti, Dambovita County, we succeeded to organize different sport activities where the participants, children, parents and teachers had a first contact with BOCCE. They have learnt the rules of the game and participated at the online trainings followed by several workshops specially designed for them to play this game. Everyone from children to seniors enjoyed these activities and they also trained for the final tournament implemented on 4th of July 2021 when the Rural Public Library celebrated 111 years since its establishment.

The final BOCCE Tournament was organised by our Turkish partner in Kemer where 4 teams representing each project partner’s country 🇷🇴🇹🇷🇭🇷🇧🇦 played and enjoy the spirit of this game.

The participants gained a lot of experience and acquired all information to promote the game

BOCCE to everyone from 7 to 70.
