Traditional is the New Original
Small-scale Partnership in the Field of Sport (November 2023 - October 2025)
Goal of this sport project is to increase the interest of the young people from Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic and France to practice four traditional sports (archery, turca, futnet, pétanque) as means for health-enhancing physical activity.
Driven by a shared vision, we embarked on a journey to promote traditional sports among young people. Our previous collaborations shed light on the untapped potential of traditional games, revealing that while the youth are receptive, they lack exposure and understanding of these timeless activities.
Recognizing the profound benefits of sports on both physical and social well-being, we are determined to empower youth organizations and individuals to embrace traditional sports.
What sets these traditional sports apart is their accessibility. Requiring minimal equipment and space, they can be enjoyed by people of all ages, indoors or outdoors. In a time where the pandemic has restricted access to sports facilities, these games offer a lifeline, promoting physical activity while nurturing social interaction and community cohesion.
ARCHERY
Dating back to 5000 BC and originating in Hungary, this ancient sport demands precision and focus, enhancing balance and coordination while sculpting muscles through sustained tension.
FUTNET
Born in the Czech Republic, brings a dynamic twist, engaging players in fast-paced movements that burn calories and promote teamwork. Its emphasis on inclusivity fosters trust and strengthens social bonds among players.
PETANQUE
Originating from France, offers a gentler alternative, emphasizing precision and inclusivity over athleticism. Its adaptability makes it accessible to individuals of all abilities, fostering socializing and camaraderie.
TURCA
A traditional Romanian game, with simple rules that require only a stick, a bat, and a hole in the ground. It promotes skill and patience, all while enhancing negotiation abilities and team spirit.
