Dissemination actions

Dissemination actions are all activities aimed at changing people’s attitudes and perceptions about the sea, encouraging them in a dedicated and lasting water sport practice.

Presse releases with local newspapers was assured at local level emphasizing the Sport for all Fests and the Sport for all path camps. The international dissemination was also guaranteed thanks to short videos and the following clips which testify the living experiences of the above events.

"Be active, embrace a water sport!"is a clip to promote water sports. Principally focused on scuba diving practiced by the young participants in the Sport for all Path camp in Italy (2018), the clip is focused on children and their opportunity to be active through water sports.

With a clear reference to the name of the project the clip “Don't try to stop the waves, practice a water sport!” encourages sport sampling because more options mean more kids will find a water sport they like.

The dissemination activities, spread using the branded gadgets with WoW/Erasmus+ logos, are classified for target audiences.
