The GREEN TEAM Project is a European programme led by the Union of Sport Federations of Catalonia (UFEC), cofunded by the Erasmus + programme of the European Commission with the aim of fostering sustainable, eco friendly and inclusive sporting events.
The GREEN TEAM Project is firmly committed to transform our sport practice to contribute to the protection of the environment with also the goal of promoting inclusion. To do so, GREEN TEAM also promotes mechanisms needed to integrate groups at risk of exclusion in sports participation.

To do so, it seeks to promote environmental education hand-in-hand with the practice of sport. The project stresses the innovation and digitalisation of sport, from grassroots to high performance sport.
