National Foundation of Civic Society & Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Estonia contribute to the Erasmus+ Sport project  "SCULT Point: Easy Access to Sports Through Technology"

National Foundation of Civic Society & Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Estonia are partly covering the own financing part of the Erasmus+ Sport project "SCULT Point: Easy Access to Sports Through Technology" 2021-2023.

The idea of the MyPromise Europe initiative is to reach and activate in sports currently inactive population using innovative and scalable “one-for-one” approach. People who are already involved in sports will make via engaging digital platform “MyPromises” to engage at least one person in a sporty activity.

The main objective of the SCULT Point initiative is to increase the access of (potentially) active people to social and guided outdoor exercise, and to democratize coaching and sport mentoring (volunteering) by making it independent of a particular sports club or location in Europe. 

  • This is done through a creative matchmaking solution, the SCULT Points, which are virtual bulletin boards related to specific geographic locations where people start or would like to start outdoor training – park corners, forest edges, hotel entrances, city squares, coastlines, public training grounds, neighbourhoods and business centres, etc.
  • On the supply side of the SCULT Point model, coaches and sports mentors (as volunteers), as well as ordinary people (as volunteers) who want to do sports in groups, can sign up on the SCULT Point Platform (system and apps) to set start times for training at a specific location. On the demand side of the SCULT Point model, people can easily sign up for the exercise or training of their choice at a virtual SCULT Point in a convenient location.

SCULT has nine partners in this project: University of Applied Sciences RISEBA (Latvia), International Sport and Culture Association ISCA (Denmark), City of Tartu (Estonia), University of Tartu (Estonia), Estonian School Sport Union (Estonia), Vilnius University of Applied Sciences (Lithuania), Voose Kõrts MTÜ (Estonia), University of Ankara (Turkey), Southern-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences XAMK (Finland).
