Framed in the European project 'Do-U-Sport', the attendees have enjoyed urban sports such as 3x3 football, goalball, parkour, rugby tag, jugger, shuttleball ... "It has been a fun day of coexistence and sport for the whole family, a healthy leisure alternative that has had free participation for all, "says the mayor Isabel María Zapata, who has attended the event with her councilor of the Ginés Pérez area.

This has been the eighth appointment in the municipality of the 'Do-U-Sport' project, with which six other activities have already been held (kite flying, multi-adventure, dance and sports on wheels and racket, and an urban gymkhana) , while hiking had to be postponed until May 6 due to bad weather.

European project

The European project 'Do-U-Sport' is part of the 'Erasmus +' program and its main objective is to explore the role of local authorities in the promotion of sport as an activity for all, free of barriers.

In this proposal, which began in January 2017 and will last until next December, Las Torres de Cotillas participates in collaboration with the municipalities of Tábua (Portugal) and Mielec (Poland).

With a budget of almost 31,500 euros for the Torreño municipality, this project is subsidized by almost 75% by the European Commission.

"Consolidating the role of local authorities in promoting sports for all, increasing the number of people and organizations involved in sports activities at the local level or promoting a deeper understanding of how sports are seen and experienced in the municipalities are other of the objectives of this project that is already underway, "explains Pérez.
