On 05 March 2026, the partners of the international project GreenMascot will meet in Constanța, Romania to hold a working conference and an interactive discussion in World Café format.
The event is part of the project GreenMascot: Strengthening BSB Local Capacities for Environmental Awareness in and through sport, which aims to strengthen the capacity of local authorities and communities in the Black Sea Basin to promote sustainability and raise environmental awareness through the power of sport.
As part of the project’s preparatory activities, the partnership has already successfully identified and selected 32 good practices (8 per partner country), related to sustainable sport initiatives, environmental education, awareness-raising campaigns and green community engagement. The selection of these practices is the result of a dedicated research and analysis process carried out across the four partner countries.
During the World Café in Constanța, these 32 good practices will be presented, discussed and further developed through interactive dialogue and exchange between representatives of local authorities, sports organisations, schools and NGOs.
Key topics of the event will include:
- sustainable organisation of sports events;
- reducing waste and carbon footprint in sport;
- engaging citizens and young people in green initiatives;
- using sport as a powerful communication tool for behavioural change and environmental responsibility.
The outcomes of the World Café will support the development of the “RACE TO SUSTAINABILITY Toolkit”, a practical solution that will provide step-by-step guidance for local administrations to plan and implement environmental awareness initiatives in and through sport.
The GreenMascot project is implemented through a partnership between organisations from Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and Türkiye, working together to contribute to a cleaner and greener Black Sea Basin region.
Stay tuned for more updates and results from the event!
