Urban Orienteering as a Grassroots Sport in Europe

(To be attached to the eForm)


Part D - Organisations and activities

D.1. Aims and activities of organisations

Please provide a short presentation of your organisation (key activities, affiliations, size of the organisation,

etc.) relating to the area covered by the project. Please provide this information for all organisations participating in the project (coordinator and partners).

Coordinator: Deutscher Turner-Bund (DTB), German Gymnastics Federation

The DTB is the second biggest German sport federation with more than 5 million members organized in more than 21.000 clubs and 22 regional organisations. The success of the DTB is mainly based on the

voluntary work of the members that has developed into the creation of a successful sport club culture in

Germany. The DTB represents three national and international Olympic sports (Artistic Gymnastics, Rhythmic Gymnastics and Trampoline), four other individual sports and six team sports, all aimed at the

increase of physical activation of citizens. This makes the DTB to be the biggest “Sport for All” (SfA) organization in Germany with a wide range of offers for all age groups and fitness conditions. Since the DTB

foundation over 200 years ago, a main focus is putted on the field “health and fitness” and “Sport for All”,

represented in its logo/slogan of the 4Fs (Frisch, Fromm, Fröhlich, Frei – Fresh, Devoted, Happy and Free).

Orienteering is one of the DTB sports, and the only one with a greater nature component. Its capacity to adopt to different target groups inviting the whole family to exercise and its different variants (foot,

mountain bike, ski) and settings (forest, urban) makes it a top activity in the field of Sport for All. DTB is strongly committed to the promotion of sport activities that include all citizens to participate not only

in the physical activities but also in the planning, coordination and execution of activities as volunteers. By

promoting volunteer’s involvement in their sport clubs, DTB encourages the acquisition of new skills, providing equal opportunities for all and raising awareness about the importance of health enhancing

physical activity (HEPA). This commitment is proved by the many projects and campaigns in which DTB is involved at national and European levels, making DTB undoubtedly the driving force of HEPA and SfA in the

sport sector of Germany.

Dansk Orientering-Forbund (DOF) www.do-f.dk

Dansk Orienterings-Forbund (DOF) is the national Orienteering Association in Denmark. It is recognized as the orienteering association for Denmark by the International Orienteering Federation (IOF), of which it is

a member. The association was founded in 1950 and is a member of Danmarks Idræts-forbund (DIF). DOF has 72 associated clubs and 7.000 members, distributed over 5 regions in Denmark. DOF is experienced in

coordinating and facilitating large multi-cultural projects and events. At the headquarters in Copenhagen

we have an experienced and highly competent group of project managers and trainers, who are eager to take the leadership in project management of the work packages assigned as well as other functions such

as event organization, fundraising, coordination, etc. The DOF has a world leading position in Urban Orienteering. One of the reasons are that Denmark (unlike

the rest of Scandinavia - lacking large forest areas) has developed skills in difficult urban terrains. This

includes mapping almost every town in Denmark with detailed 1:4000 scale maps of the city centers. Together with this, Denmark launched a School Orienteering project in 2017 which is based on education

material, school maps and on-line training materials used by pupils and students in grammar schools in 99 Danish schools in almost every urban town area in the country. As a national sporting Federation, the DOF

has the most updated knowledge about digital materials used for training of young people in urban areas.

Český svaz orientačních sportů www.orientacnisporty.cz Orienteering sports have a long tradition in the Czech Republic (since 1968) and have strong membership over 13.200 registered athletes in 217 clubs spread over the whole country. In the Czech Orienteering

Federation (CZE) there are about 300 competitions annually organized in all four disciplines (foot

orienteering, mountain bike orienteering, ski orienteering and trail orienteering) by the clubs. Within each competition there are also open categories for all, which has regularly about 100 participants. CZE of its

own is also well experienced in organising high level orienteering events – 2013 Junior World Championships

http://www.do-f.dk/

http://www.orientacnisporty.cz/


in Hradec Králové, 2016 European Championships in Jeseník, 2018 World Cup Final in Prague and the World Championship 2021 in Doksy will follow. The course of the Year 2018 selected by IOF was the middle-

distance WC Final in Prague. CZE has also many successful elite athletes who are able to perform on the highest level, which encourages young citizens to try out and practice orienteering. Every year there are

about 200 new special orienteering maps produced by the Czech clubs. There is long term successful project

“Education maps” (since 2007), which offers mapping for schools and children clubs, each year there is 50 new maps produced. In 2018 the project developing orienteering programs for Czech curriculum

“Experience Your Hometown” supported by EU-funds has started.

Slovenský zväz orientačných športov www.orienteering.sk Slovak Orienteering Association (SOA) is the national association of sport clubs focused on different orienteering sports. It unifies and represents four orienteering sports: foot orienteering, ski orienteering,

mountain bike orienteering and trail orienteering. It has long time history; its foundation is dated back to 1968. The activities are done on local level (Western, Central and Eastern regions) and national level.

Orienteering is a small sport in Slovakia: the SOA unifies all 21 orienteering clubs and around 600 registered runners. The clubs organize each year around 50 competitions on local level and 15 competitions on national

level. Runners regularly represent the country in International competitions. In 2020 SOA will host the World

Masters Orienteering Championship in Košice, Eastern Slovakia with around 5000 participants. The clubs produce around 70 new maps each year located in different parts of the country.

In Slovakia there are several clubs focusing on the work with children and families on the grassroots level. Some of them, like Sokol Pezinok, Farmaceut Bratislava and SK Sandberg Bratislava are not only keeping

regular trainings during the week, but also organizing each year summer training camps for children and

beginners in orienteering in Slovakia and also in Czech Republic. Through these activities many people understand orienteering as sport suitable not only for children but also for all ages, categories and

performance levels. These systematic activities result in a growing number of people dealing with orienteering and enjoying the benefits of being physically active. SOA has a devoted team of trainers working

with young people, spreading the Orienteering in Slovakia.

Belgian Orienteering Federation (ABSO-BVOS) www.orienteering.be The Association Belge des Sports D´Orientation / Belgische Verband voor Orientatiesporten was established in 1964 and is composed by 2 regional leagues: FRSO for the French/German speaking side, Orienteering

Vlaanderen for Flanders. Foot orienteering is the major orienteering activity in Belgium. In total, the association has 15 clubs and around 1.800 regular members. Every year, the clubs organise about 85-90

competitions at the official calendar, plus almost as many open local events (something between local

competitions and trainings). A national event involves more than 450 participants, a regional event between 150 and 250 participants. Belgium also organised a World Cup event in 2002 in the province Luxemburg.

Deutscher Orientierungssport-Verband (DOSV) www.orientierungslauf.de/ www.dosv.org Members of the DOSV (German Orienteering Federation) are active orienteering clubs. The DOSV aims on

strengthening all International Orienteering Federation (IOF) orienteering sports in Germany - that implies foot orienteering, mountain bike orienteering, ski orienteering and trail orienteering. The DOSV is a young

and independent federation, founded in 2014. The reason for founding the DOSV as a new federation besides the DTB (German Gymnastics Federation)

- so far, the only organization representing orienteering in Germany - were the special requirements of all

orienteering disciplines. They can be faced best in most cases by a specialized federation which cooperates with a multi-sports organization like the DTB in Germany. Today the DOSV takes full responsibility for an

own competition registration system (O-Manager), the national ranking system and the German orienteering homepage as well as for the IOF-membership (fifty-fifty arrangement together with DTB) and for a number

of national competitions which DTB cannot organize. The DOSV wants to get more people in Germany interested in orienteering - aiming on an easy and low-cost access to orienteering without special limitations.

Up to now about 30 orienteering clubs (representing more than 1.500 active athletes) are members of the

DOSV. They represent more than 2/3 of the clubs which are involved in organizing national events on a regular basis.

The DOSV was involved in the DTB-Project: Orientierungssport in Großstädten und Ballungsräumen – Konzept für eine naturverträgliche Sportausübung, (Orienteering in big cities and metropolitan areas –

concept for a sport in line with nature), financed by the DOSB (Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund). The

outcomes were reported in a handout: ORIENTIERUNGSLAUF ALS FREIZEIT- UND BREITENSPORT IN URBANEN GEBIETEN – EINE KURZE HANDREICHUNG FÜR DIE ORGANISATION NIEDRIGSCHWELLIGER

ANGEBOTE, wich can be obtained at the DOSB. Former projects dealt with environmental effects of orienteering and methods of easy access to orienteering.

From the international point of view, German orienteering has a lot of informal contacts and coworking with partners of the surrounding states. For instance, a regular two days event is organized together by Czech

und German clubs.

to build on them.

Currently taking place, the EFB II continues in a sustainable way raising the awareness of the adult population in Europe of the importance of health enhancing physical activity by utilising the motivating

elements of a personal fitness test - including a differentiated feedback of the actual fitness status and an

individual counselling. The European Fitness Badge will therefore be able to give a significant contribution to the implementation of the EU Physical Activity Guidelines, and a tool that can be replicated and taken up

by other stakeholders throughout and beyond the project lifetime. At the moment the, EFB Online Data Platform has been translated to 5 languages (Spanish, German, Danish,

Slovenian and Bulgarian) proving an even more personal feedback to all participants of EFB events, in both, big and small settings.

All education material developed during EFB I are being updated and improved, adding as well new tool for

the training of the EFB trainers. Education seminars have been taking place in all project partners countries, and the EFB Certification is part of most education schemes of these countries.

At the moment more than 5000 Europeans have taken the European Fitness Badge, and the number keeps increasing daily.

DTB uses the EFB as a tool to disseminate along their 22 regional organizations, providing all clubs in Germany access to it. The same strategy will be implemented for the dissemination of Orienteering as a grassroots sport.

Please provide a short summary of the project outcomes and describe if and how the new proposal seeks to build on them.

The European Fitness Day 2016 Collaborative Partnership demonstrated “good practice” of a European

initiative on aiming to tackle the declining levels of participation in sport and physical activity in Europe, and in particular delivering promotion of the European Week of Sport in its second year.

Beyond promoting the European Week of Sport, European Fitness Day 2016, provided specific opportunities

to European citizens to be active, raised awareness of the importance and celebrated the role played by physical activity in improving the health of citizens.

Key European Fitness Day results are as follows: • 23 participating countries

• 294 participating cities • 837 registered MOVE Agents (Fitness centres and Sport clubs)

• 19 000 events (18 000 from ukactive National Fitness Day 2016)

• Around 170 publications and radio interviews promoting European Fitness Day • Around 895 volunteers

• 8 Flagship events • 3 Supporting municipal bodies

• 2 Supporting Ministries

This project provided the DTB a clear strategy on how to implement specific sport activities into broader campaigns. A similar approach is the one taken by this project.

Title of the project European Week of Sport


Role of organisation National Coordinator

Website www.beactive-deutschland.de


In 2016 the DTB was for the first time the National Coordinator EWoS in Germany.

In four pre-events we offered the challenge “4XF Games” – a competition for youth and young grownup in the field of Functional Training. The idea was to present an attractive, trendy challenge to motivate young

people to be physically active on a regular basis – and preferably with like-minded people in a sports club.

337 participants took part in the competition “4XF Games” and more than 1.000 spectators were excited. From these 337 participants 80 persons were qualified to participate in the main EWoS event (key event)

in Berlin. Parallel to these events we developed recommendations concerning the type of event and the content or the message:

• A “day of the open doors/Fitness Day”, • The “challenge Fitness” (the “light” version of the 4XF Games),

• The “challenge Dance” (with the FlashMove of ISCA and UEG) or

• The “challenge Endurance” (with running, walking or hiking). We had also many companies supporting us by setting the link to our website and by organizing own events.

At the end 283 EWoS-events were registered. Most of the events were “days of the open doors” (55%), followed by the “challenge Fitness” (18%). 11 events were education events for instructors. At the end

38.600 persons were physical active. The main EWoS-event Education (1. Saarbrücker Turn- und

Sportkongress) took place in Saarbrücken from 24 - 25 of September. 500 participants – club managers and instructors - took part.

Orienteering activities are in the strategy of DTB dissemination of activities during the European Week of Sport. The project will highlight this European campaign as a milestone for implementation of orienteering activities.

Title of the project European Fitness Badge



Website www.fitness-badge.eu



The European Fitness Badge (EFB I) successfully come to a temporary end (in terms of project time frame)

with a full and complete set of deliverables. These ones reflect the objectives set by the project partners when starting the development of the EFB and to which they have worked during the project time frame.

The main objective pursued by the project was the “promotion of voluntary activities in sport, together with social inclusion, equal opportunities and awareness of the importance of health-enhancing physical activity

through increased participation in, and equal access, to sport for all”. With this headline as a trigger, the EFB collaborative partnership has achieved and developed tangible and intangible outcomes. In a way of

summarizing the objectives proposed and accomplished, it first and most important outcome is the

development of the Badge itself. The development of the European Fitness Badge in itself, achieved the overall objective of the project,

expressed as the “increment of citizen participation in sport and physical activity across Europe via an innovative European Fitness Badge (see website www.fitness-badge.eu)

The project has also enhanced the capacity of sport and physical promotion organizations to engage citizens

in sport and physical activity. The deliverables outcomes can be seen in the systematic and strategic training of the organizations, using the EFB as a holistic and integrated concept. The development of the “Trainers

Handbook” and the organization of “Multiplier Seminars” as well as “Trainers Seminars” are aligned to the achievement of this objective.

The European Fitness Badge therefore was able to give a significant contribution to the implementation of the EU Physical Activity Guidelines, and a tool that can be replicated and taken up by other stakeholders

throughout and beyond the project lifetime. Sustainable behaviour change from inactive to active passes

several stages. The Fitness Badge is a sustainable module on the way to change the behaviour, especially from the stage “thinking about/making plans” to the stage of “exploring”. The Fitness Badge is very helpful

for changing behaviour – especially when it is integrated in special events and settings. In this realm, the European Fitness Badge has been introduced in single events by sport clubs and organizations but also in

big events such as the International German Turnfest, and European level campaigns like the NowWeMove

campaign of ISCA during the MOVE Week and the European Week of Sport during 2017.

DTB uses the EFB as a tool to disseminate along their 22 regional organizations, providing all clubs in Germany access to it. The same strategy will be implemented for the dissemination of Orienteering as a grassroots sport.

SCforH is an expert-based approach that supports clubs as well as national and regional sport organisations

to recognize the health potential of their sports disciplines and organize health-enhancing sports activities in the sports club setting. The purpose of SCforH is to encourage sports clubs and national sport

organizations to invest more in using the health potential of their particular sport. In practice, this primarily means promoting health-enhancing sports activities within sports clubs.

Main project outcomes were the following:

• Report of current status of Sports Club for Health (SCforH) programmes in EU countries

• Practical E-tool for sport associations how they can implement SCforH approach and support their member organisations in it

• Scientific review of the evidence base for SCforH

• Updated SCforH guide for sports clubs

Orienteering activities in this project are understood in this project as a health enhancing physical activity form of exercise.

to build on them.

ActiveAge was a transnational project that fosters the exchange of knowledge and experience to counteract

the physical inactivity of older people through capacity building for physical activities and sport programs of

aging people in well-structured and wide-spread settings, with the starting point in sport-organisations. The project comprised three work packages. These were “Target groups & fitting exercise programs”,

“Strategic planning & implementation”, “Recruitment & education of instructors” The outcomes are

summarized in a handbook with:

• Differentiation and description of relevant sub target-groups of older people; criteria and standards for

the description and validation of fitting exercise programs for older people and a collection of established

exercise programs along the criteria (“best practice”).

• Recommendations and guidelines to create and implement strategy plans for promotion of physical activity for older people; collection of good practise examples with a self-assessment tool; guidelines how to create

and carry out networks, recommendations for steps to initiative and implement strategy plans and in each case a fitting tool kit.

• Recommendations for the recruitment of instructors for older people and recommendations for the content

of a curriculum to educate instructors for older people.

The new proposal “European Fitness Badge” can profit by the experiences and the conclusions out of the

“ActiveAge” project – especially with respect of cooperating with different associations including their

sport/fitness clubs and networking on a municipal level. Additionally, the outcomes of the new project will be a supporting instrument for active aging, to promote physical activity in all age groups of adulthood.

Orienteering is a clear example of an activity that can be motivating for the specific target group of senior citizens.

PART E - Project characteristics and relevance

E.1. Objectives

Please explain:

• why and how the project addresses the topic you selected in the eForm application (section B.2) and

the European policies in the field of sport,

• the genuine and adequate needs analyses,

• the extent to which the objectives address issues relevant to the participating organisations and target

groups.

Open Access to Orienteering (OA2O) is a European wide project proposal that addresses one of the topics

pursued by the Erasmus+ programme: “the promotion of voluntary activities in sport, together with social inclusion, equal opportunities and awareness of the importance of health-enhancing physical activity, through increased participation in, and equal access to sport for all”. By breaking down this statement, the OA2O

project focusses on certain aspects as the main objectives and goals of a 3 year long European cooperation.

OA2O has the following objectives:

1. Development of Orienteering and Event organization skills for young orienteering participants through

non-formal education trainings

2. Encouragement of young orienteering participants to volunteer as organizers of low-level orienteering events promoting Sport for All

3. Promotion of the benefits of Orienteering as a grassroots sport around Europe

Following these three main goals, the project aims at taking a maximum benefit of the advantages that

Orienteering offers as a physical activity: low cost, urban and rural settings, and adaptable to all ages and fitness levels. In this sense, Orienteering is described by the International Orienteering Federation (IOF) as “a

low-cost sport suitable for both genders and for all ages”. The sport tests both the physical and the mental

strength of participants, which - while using a map - and with the help of a compass – have to find specific control points (marked on a map) in the correct order. The actual route taken to the control points may be

freely chosen by the individual participant, provided that restricted areas (such as private property or nature protection areas) are not entered.

For the purpose of this project, the partnership will focus mainly, but not exclusively if the opportunities are presented, in developing Orienteering in urban settings, following a low-level course, and to be done by foot,

which generates a broader target group of users and includes a major number of participants without access to Orienteering or to any other physical activity. In this sense, the project is oriented on the motivation of

young people, between 18 and 25 years old, to try and stay in Orienteering and to motivate others, especially

those without access to sport activities to engage in the activity as participants and as volunteers for events organization.

Why Orienteering as European Grassroots sport will meet the objectives of the European policies

in the field of Sport Orienteering in all its variants, but mainly foot orienteering, is a suitable physical activity for participants of a

wide range of fitness levels, without distinction of gender, economic status, education level or place of

residency. A unique feature is that both the physical and the mental capabilities of the participants are addressed and that there is a permanent learning of new skills, because participants do not only get involved

in the sports, but also in the planning of orienteering events. Orienteering in Europe is a volunteer based organized sport and the involvement and permanency of young people within the activities is a main problem

this project aims to overcome.

While providing non-formal education trainings to young orienteering participants, the project aims at

developing skilful volunteers, with knowledge in the theory of orienteering (mapping, course setting, etc.) and event management. These training will be held by experienced trainers from each federation involved in the

project and all tools and support will be given to them when they come back to their communities and plan low-level orienteering events. With this methodology, the trained volunteers - while coming back to their

communities - become multipliers of the main message and action: Orienteering is a sport for all.


European orienteering Federations - Supporting network for orienteering as a grassroots sport

The participating organisations are members of the International Orienteering Federation (IOF) and are active in orienteering sport ranging from the organisation and participation in international events to sport on low

level. They all have a long-term experience in these matters, but still lack the network to support sport for all

events and as well as the incentives to keep young people involved in the sport. Therefore, the objectives, orienteering on its way to a grassroots sport with the special focus of young orienteers as responsible people

as organizers, are relevant to the participating organizations in full extent.

In terms of target groups, the project focuses on young orienteering participants who are (or are interested in becoming) volunteers in sport for all activities. These group of selected participants will take part in 1 of the 3

planned trainings where they will get access to knowledge and skills in order to go back to their communities

and become active members of orienteering as a sport for all. Their events will be targeting their whole community without distinction of gender, economic background or

age. According to their needs and capabilities they will create the proper partnerships with different stakeholders in order to develop and execute orienteering events for people to try out and become physically

active with a great physical activity such as Orienteering.

The project will motivate young people to stay involved by taking over a leadership role through the

organization of low-level orienteering events with a strong component of social inclusion, by bringing orienteering events to those sectors of society that do not know about the sport and do not have access to

physical activities and sports.

The need for young leaders as volunteers

Although active participation in orienteering events requires relatively little input from participants the preparation and conduct of an event is labor-intensive and needs specialist skills.

This applies in the first place particularly to the map to be used. This usually starts from a commercially available map; which must then be extended to provide participants with precise details of the contouring,

available paths and tracks and the vegetation boundaries as well as any other point or line object relevant for

orienteering. The map must also show which areas are out-of-bonds (nature protection and/or private property) and may not be crossed. For both training and competition activities the control points must be

marked and provided with an appropriate registration device (usually electronic). The participants usually start individually (not as mass start), their finish-time must be recorded, and the actual run time calculated and

there must be a check that all control points were found in the right order. Finally – at the end of the training

or competition – the control points must be collected up.

There are thus a number of activities which require a certain degree of experience and expertise and which cannot be adequately learnt in a single training session. This applies not only to the organization of large

events, but also to low-level events where both the physical and mental challenges must be appropriate to the capabilities of the participants.

It is clear, that these activities tend to be carried out by the older, more experienced Orienteerers (even when

they are still active participants in their respective age-class). Steady development of a grassroots sport is only possible when expertise and experience is passed on to younger participants who then become more

closely involved in the organizational side of the sport. This is an aspect which has received relatively little attention until now.

An important factor here must be the motivation of younger participants to become involved in such activities. Many younger participants see the organizational aspects as being exclusively confined to the older generation.

Motivation to take on such roles must come from both a feeling of social responsibility and the wish to spread interest in the sport by personal engagement. Younger participants have particular opportunities to generate

interest and enthusiasm within their age-related peer-group; the typical role-distribution between “older” trainer and “younger” trainee must be discarded. Purely national activities in this direction are unlikely to be

successful due to great differences in the numbers of persons involved in the different countries.

As we can see, these factors refer to the following needs in the field:

• There are no specific offerings to interest young Orienteers in such organizational aspects. These

must be developed, tested in practice and then established so that a stable group of organizers is available which then regenerates over the course of time

• The development of a long-term stable training system. This must cover all relevant organizational

aspects such as map-making, planning and conduct of training and low-level urban orienteering events.


• In consideration that Orienteering is an internationally known and practiced sport but with different

degrees of implementation in partner countries it is appropriate to tackle such problems on an international basis. This would also include the planning and conduct of pan-European events.

• There is a lack of formal institutional cooperation between European federation. Only informal

arrangements, usually by personal contacts not by institutions, is the common understanding of Orienteering at the moment in Europe.

Orienteering in suburban locations Cities and large urban areas have been growing steadily for many years. The availability of both employment

opportunities and of cultural- and recreational-events makes such areas increasingly attractive to the general

population. This development is closely associated with the provision of housing, industrial buildings and appropriate infrastructure; as a result of which the area of “green-landscape” from agricultural land, forests

and recreational areas is steadily decreasing. The reduction in available area stands in marked contrast to the increasing numbers of those seeking recreational opportunities. Increased commercial offers (such as open-

air music concerts in parks) and private use by the general public (for example by dog walkers and running

groups) lead to time- and space-pressures and potential conflicts of interest. There can also be administrative problems when “minor” – relatively unknown - types of sporting activity seek local authority permissions or

approvals for their events.

As a result of such developments, outdoor sporting activities are increasingly taking place further and further

away from urban centres – often well outside the area served by public transportation – so that the time required for travel to and from events becomes increasingly disadvantageous. Participation by beginners,

juveniles and – particularly – people with low-income is thus particularly difficult. It is thus necessary to develop the offer of orienteering events in both urban and the directly adjacent areas.

Over the last 15 years, various additional trainings and friendly competition formats of orienteering have been

developed which are applicable not only in urban- and suburban areas but also in parkland and nearby forest

areas. These formats are particularly suitable for recreational, beginners and young participants since the navigational problems are relatively simple. Special courses and materials to train people with orienteering

background to make them fit to deal with the challenges arising from the situation described do not exist. Activities in this field are short termed mostly, are lacking well trained coaches and do not lead to good

established projects.

Considering the needs previously mentioned and the opportunities that arise form the implementation of low-

level urban orienteering, the OA2O project will work by:

• Developing learning material on low-level orienteering events in urban areas and how to plan and execute grassroots sport events with a focus on social inclusion

• Training young orienteering participants as volunteers for mapping and other orienteering techniques

and requirements

• Supporting young trainees in the organization of their own community events, mainly during the European Week of Sport and the World Orienteering Day.

• Generating promotional material that can be freely used by all people interested in orienteering as a

grassroots sport

• Generating partnerships, networks and synergies by working together and learning from each other’s

experiences (within the project partners and with the training participants)

• Developing new partnerships while bringing orienteering to new setting such as municipalities, schools, day centres, shelters, etc, specially to those without access to sport and physical activities

• Documenting and publishing all learning experiences

• Establishing formal and institutional cooperation between European Orienteering Federations.

In a glimpse, we see the project socializing knowledge, bringing new skills to young people and motivate them

to stay in the sport and to bring the activities to their community.


E.2. Innovative aspects Please describe to which extent is the proposal innovative.

Orienteering is a sport traditionally executed in forest areas. In recent years the “Sprint” form of orienteering was developed with the aim to take the sport out of the forest and closer to the spectators. Thus, more

often urban areas started to be used as a setting for the activity.

When learning orienteering on a grassroots level often school yards and city parks are used. This development is also reflected in development of new forms of map standards (sprint maps, maps of school

yards). In bringing orienteering to beginners, schools and general public new technical innovative solutions are often used: laser scanning (for map preparation), digital printing (for easy and flexible map printing),

GPS tracking (for showing the participants position during race at finish areas), various software solutions (for map drawing, for time keeping, for TV production, etc.). All technical innovative solutions shifted

orienteering to new level and enable to use this sport platform for growing the sport between general public,

young people, physically disabled people (trial orienteering), socially excluded people.

Previous attempts to extend the range of orienteering have been strongly regional in character and have not been systematic from a European point-of-view. Also, the lack of compromise and motivation of young

orienteering participants in the organization side of the sport is damaging and delaying the development of

orienteering as a grassroots sport.

The proposed project is intended not only to exchange information but also to develop completely new openings:

• Systematic development of “Orienteering for All“ by bringing the sport to the people – this focusses on local opportunities in residential areas.

• Cooperation with societies and institutions (also those currently outside the sport) to establish

additional openings on the longer term.

• Development of peer-group learning experiences and exchange of knowledge by bringing together young orienteering participants to trainings in low-level urban orienteering events.

• Formal institutional cooperation with European partners in relation to organization, particularly the training, development and integration of younger participants into all aspects of such activities

By performing this project, a lot of innovative tools will be used:

Innovations in Technical area: - New software and techniques for map productions (laser scanning, mobile mapping devices, new drawing

systems like OCAD, Purple pen), course settings and control description production (new 2018 version),

time keeping - New standards for maps: maps for school yards (now under development)

- Stable training areas in cities: NRF solutions for punching with mobile devices and mobile solutions for time keeping so this solution is suitable for general public. Nevertheless, SPORTident equipment is needed

for certain events.

Innovations in Social area: - Involvement of young orienteering participants to organizers positions (map production, course setting, negotiations in order to receive permissions, time keeping, working with public, PR, etc.). This will

strengthen the expertise, management skills and responsibility level of young people.

O-Federations

• Knowledge andexperience

O-Volunteers

• Training and newskills. Motivation tostay involved

O-Events

• Community activities. O-for All


- Spreading sport as integration element between excluded or disabled communities in participating countries

The grassroot character of orienteering which could be performed at school or city parks enables to integrate

different social groups and contribute to their integration to the society, as well as providing a low-cost

activity to become physically active.

E.3. EU added value

Please describe the project's added value at EU level through results that would not be attained by activities carried out solely at national level.

From the European point of view Orienteering is a very underdeveloped sport. Often related to University

students and graduates, in certain regions of Europe like in the Scandinavian countries the sport has deep roots and a wide popularity. In other countries the sport is less prominent and is relatively unknown to a

large part of the population (including politicians and administrative personnel). And one of its main problems, is the drop-out of young orienteering participants, without available motivations to keep them

involved in their clubs and in the sport in general.

Further development and wider knowledge of the sport can only be attained if experiences are exchanged

across national borders and partners learn from each other, motivating each other to disseminate and expand orienteering along their life. In this sense, the project through its new Orienteering volunteers will

create a European network of young leaders that will bring the activity to socially excluded groups in their own communities.

Positioning the project on a European perspective, the project will generate synergies among the national

partners, creating opportunities and products such as:

• special experiences and ideas in the construction and structure of offerings in recreational and

popular sport are partially not available at all, or of differing nature, or only available in certain geographical areas

• young participants should be encouraged to participate in the organization and conduct of all types

of orienteering – from competitive to purely recreational level. The added value is provided by the very wide range of experience to be shared and the harmonization of work-flows and processes.

In the longer term, organizational teams could be formed internationally; this could facilitate the

organization of major competitive events and/or recreational activities also in countries which have only limited national capacity.

• orienteering events “use” geographical locations and must therefore consider rights of access to

such locations. Here again there are widely different national regulations and experiences. General rules which have a European dimension do not yet exist but are essential for the further

development of the sport.

• the integration of citizens from all social backgrounds, with emphasis on immigrant and refugees

seeking opportunities for integration in their new communities, must be implemented; this is a pan European responsibility. Jointly developed concepts and joint experiences could be useful not only

for orienteering but also for other sports.

It is evident that many new developments in separated areas (like maps, timekeeping, PR, standards,

working with schools etc.) emerge and develop in countries on local level. Many new and good ideas, techniques and practices are also today separated and unknown on EU level. This project will enable two

major things:

• transfer of existing know-how between participating countries and further its transfer to other EU

countries through dissemination activities

• initiation of a creative environment by encouraging young people from different countries to bring their own experiences to common “hot pot”. That means common meetings of young people with

different backgrounds will enable initiation and further development of new ideas. Their proving in

practice will be enabled on follow up replication events to be done in their home countries.


Finally, the project will bring together European orienteering federations that currently do not work cooperatively together in a formal way, but rather through personal contacts. With this project, a formal

and institutional agreement of cooperation will be established and will generate future opportunities to continue with it after the project and include other European countries as well.

Part F - Quality of the project design and implementation

F.1. Project design Please describe a clear and complete work programme, including appropriate phases for preparation,

implementation, monitoring, evaluation and dissemination. Describe the proposal (on the basis of the main

activities planned) and where and how it will be implemented.

In order to face the needs described in E.1 and considering the positive aspects mentioned in E.2 and E.3

the project will work in a project design as follows: young orienteering participants from all partner countries

will be trained in organization of low-level urban orienteering events. The material for these trainings will be developed by the partners based on their knowledge and experience, aiming at developing general and

common guidelines to be applicable on a European level. The training participants will organize events for their own communities in their clubs and countries with the support of the partner federations.

As described above, the project will focus on the training of young orienteering participants in the field of

low-level urban orienteering events for the development of orienteering as a grassroots sport. To do this,

special training material needs to be developed (WP1 and WP2) that will be tested and updated based on the experiences of the training seminars (WP3). Trainees will work closely with their national federation and

clubs in the organizing of events (WP4). All results and materials developed will be available for open use in a common European platform working as a hub of orienteering activities throughout the continent (WP5).

For a proper development of the project, the project manager will work closely with all WPs leaders. This way, and through a fluent communication, all partners will be updated in the progress of each outcome and

in the next steps. The project has been divided in 6 Work Packages, each one with a final Intellectual Outcome (IO). Every WP has an appointed leader who will make sure the activities and tasks will be

delivered in time and with the expected results. Together with the project manager they will work closely

to communicate all information, control the work plan and ensure que quality of the project outcomes. WP1: Education material in Orienteering → IO 1: Handbook of Orienteering for All I

The WP1 objective is to develop the non-formal education material that training participants will use in order to gain knowledge and skills in the Orienteering. The information will have a component of aspects

such as mapping, course setting, for low-level orienteering in urban settings. The material develop will be tested during the training’s schemes and improved based on the feedback received from participants.

F.2. Methodology Please describe:

• the quality and feasibility of the methodology proposed,

• the consistency between project objectives, methodology, activities and budget proposed,

• the existence and quality of management arrangements (well defined and realistic timelines,

organisation, tasks and responsibilities).

The project methodology is based on phases of preparation, implementation, review and evaluation and

dissemination. Each WPs goes through each of these phases with the support of all project partners, staff and organisation, which will ensure a well-thought, tested and improved outcome. The quality and feasibility

of the project is as well realized by the strong cooperation between the partners involved and the skills and

experiences of all practitioners involved in the project development.


In terms of management, the DTB has a strong, high standard quality in the implementation and

management of projects at a local, regional and European level, supported by a stable organization which objectives and aims as the promotion of physical activity among citizens matches the objectives of the

project. The partners, on their side bring a high value and excellence in the world of orienteering which will

ensure proper, clear and state of the art outcomes with available use for all.

DTB will provide all partners access as guest to the DTB working platform on Microsoft Teams, which will provide a clear, fast, frequent and transparent communication tool for the development of the project. With

this tool, all developments, communications and files will be available to all at all times, which will facilitate the team work and the cooperation.

In general terms, and associated with the phases of the project, our methodology has 3 main steps:

All project phases and steps are also monitored by the project management assuring a full involvement of

the partners in all tasks, the compromise and commitment on the dissemination actions and the sustainable and extension of project outcomes after the funding availability.

Detailed timelines of tasks and responsibilities are being described along this proposal, with a clear structure of actions and outcomes from each WP and the budget to be used on each of them.

F.3. Quality control during project implementation Please describe:

• the existence and relevance of quality control measures to ensure that the project implementation

is of high quality, completed in time and on budget,

• how the results will be achieved in the most economical way and on time,

• the coherence between the project activities and the use of budget,

• any potential risks involved in the implementation, how they might affect the objectives and results

of activities and how they could be mitigated.

DTB as an Erasmus+ project coordinator, including the coordination nationally of the European Week of

Sport, has a vast knowledge and experience in managing projects and developing processes for intercultural team work.

The project manager and the project assistant form together the core project controlling and evaluation

team. Their primary task is to assess the project performance, i.e. time, economy and financial plan,

distribute the tasks and take the necessary steps to fulfil the proper performance of the project and the team. To do this, tools for project management and business intelligence will be use.

The project consortium will work together on an online basis through agreed tools and software (Microsoft Teams) where all the finished and upcoming tasks, minutes from meetings and other materials will be

1-Development

• Collection of already existing material, adaptability for Orienteering training, andimplementation in Trainig seminars and events

2- Review-Evaluation

• During trainings and events, all material will be tested and feedback will be collected.Research tools will be implemented in this phase. Based on these results, materials will beimproved and updated.

3-Dissemination

• Using an online platform, all results will be available and extended through an Europeannetwork of Orienteering volunteers and practitioners.


available in English for the whole project team. Conference calls will be hold regularly with the whole team, and individually within each WPs when needed. The principal objective of this conferences is to assess the

development of tasks, approvals of budget expenses, revision of the planned schedule and monitoring of work of all workgroups.

DTB will always encourage and expect the active and full participation of all partners and will ensure that the Intellectual Outcomes of each WPs are completed in time and within the budget structure. During

International project meetings, evaluations sheets will be distributed among the whole consortium and time for project evaluation and discussion will be given as well.

The estimated budget expenses will be regularly compared with the real spend expenditures. All the project

activities will be done with principle of thriftiness and economy. When purchasing services (Exceptional

costs) or specific materials and equipment, offers from at least 3 tenders will be review, and the best option in terms of quality and costs will be selected. The DTB financial administration department assisted and

controls the budget management as well.

Potential problems will be addressed in accordance with the principles of risk management as soon as

possible to mitigate the impact and will be solved in cooperation. To avoid problems and/or risks the

following aspects will be considered by DTB and the project partnership:

• Objective of the project is aligned with the partners cause and strategies.

• Transparency and common understanding of cooperation and decision making.

• Capacity of all organisations is known by all project partners, and expectation of their work and

commitment is related to the final objectives of the project.

see a need to motivate orienteering participants to stay involved with the sports when they reach certain

age, and to provide them with skills and knowledge to become active members of their communities. For

this reason, these partners share and have the following skills:

• they are very active in the field of fitness and health, through the promotion of Orienteering in their respective countries,

• are experienced in orienteering at community and elite (competition level)

• are innovative, passionate and committed to what they do

• are strong believers that orienteering is an excellent sport activity for those that do not have access

to physical activity, and playing sports is a great tool for social inclusion.

The majority of the project team has worked already very effective together in Orienteering activities such

as competitions of elite athletes. They know each other, they trust each other, and they are certain that their cooperative work will bring positive outcomes for the incrementation level of physical activity among

European citizens.

In the project are integrated (a) trainers - all of them with expertise in orienteering; (b) managers from

national orienteering federations; (c) project managers and coordinators of European grassroots sports projects. All of them work cooperative together to achieve the objectives of the project.

The different perspectives and experiences from their national level, combined with their international

involvement of their federations, will bring synergies with the local experiences that trainees will bring enriching the discussions and the final outcomes of the project.

The project team will work equally involved and all decision are made after all voices are heard. All team

members have to identify them-selves with the decisions and to always prioritize the objective and benefits withdrawn from the project outcomes. The work packages are clearly defined, with detail activities and

outcomes that should be accomplished. The development and results of each WP is presented throughout

the project time-frame, allowing all partners to be involved in them. The partner organizations have clearly defined tasks, which build up on the daily work of their organizations – e.g. to commit multipliers, to educate

instructors, to operate an event, to implement new instruments. All these tasks are well known, and their organizations have the structure to support them.

Project partners will have a project handbook with detailed explanations of expected tasks, budget and timelines as well as written agreement with the coordinator partner. This agreement will describe the rights

and duties of each partner organisation in the project.

G.4. Partner Countries (to be filled in only if applicable)

If applicable, describe the extent to which the involvement of participating organisation from a Partner

Country1 brings an essential added value to the project. NOTE: please note the difference between the Partner Countries and partner organisations. Please read the

footnote 1 (below) thoroughly.

PART H – Impact and dissemination

H.1. Quality control of final outcomes Describe the measures planned for evaluating the project outcomes and ensuring the quality of project

(including indicators).

The project evaluation is a permanent and constant activity based on the expertise of the project consortium

and the staff involved in each WP. The DTB in its long-standing knowledge and experience in the

management of European projects in the field of Sport for All, utilizes a combination of process evaluation and effect evaluation. With these general guidelines, the project can ensure the achievement of the

proposed objectives in time and form. The objectives of the project are clearly defined, as well as specific, measurable, realistic and achievable

when following the proposed time line of activities. The definition of a specific valued for indicators is to be

determined by each WP but, certain measures and indicators are foreseen in order to reach the proposed objectives.

Objective 1 → Development of Orienteering and event organization skills for young sport leaders through

non-formal education trainings:

• Clear requirements for selection criteria of participants in Training schemes

• 75 trained young sport leaders in orienteering from 5 European countries through 3 trainings

Objective 2 → Encouragement to young sport leaders to volunteer as organizers of low-level orienteering

events promoting Sport for All:

• Low-level orienteering events in urban areas in all partners countries during the European Week of

Sport and World Orienteering Day 2021 and 2022

• Successful stories of low-level orienteering in European cities

Objective 3 → Promotion of the benefits of Orienteering as a grassroots sport around Europe:

• Establishment of partnerships with new sectors in which to bring Orienteering as a Sport for All physical activity (schools, municipalities, refugee centres, shelters, etc)

• Establishment and use of a European network for orienteering for social inclusion, beyond the

partner countries

In terms of the project process evaluation, the project management will work in the development of agreements with all partners regarding duties, tasks and responsibilities; evaluation forms for the organisers

and participants of each meeting and training; biannual reporting on the progress of each WP; permanent

communication and transparency in all administrative issues; etc. The final report of the project will give insights and detail information of these actions, as well as including

the guidelines and opportunities of sustainability of the project after the funding period.

H.2. Expected impact of the project Please describe:

• the potential impact of project on participants and participating organisations

− during the project lifetime,

− after the project lifetime,

• the potential impact of project outside the organisations and individuals directly participating in the project, at local, regional, national and/or European level,

• how will you measure the previously mentioned impacts (including indicators).

The potential impact of the project in the participants organisations is mainly defined by the synergies

created in the cooperative working environments the project proposes. The Orienteering federations taking part in this project are relatively small organisations, in the sense that the sport is not widely known, but


they developed many activities in the last years and their knowledge and experience is worth sharing and

exchanging. DTB will also bring together the experiences of working at a European level and positioning

orienteering as grassroots sport. The young orienteering participants selected to take part in the trainings will impact in the federations by bringing new ideas, bringing the sport closer to other sectors and by

revitalizing communities with innovative and open event using orienteering. The deliverables out of the project will create common guidelines for action and for promoting orienteering

as a sport for all, giving it a bigger and wider audience in partner countries but also throughout whole Europe. The increase of the visibility of orienteering as a health enhancing physical activity will also generate

an impact on the organisations structure, they daily activities, the current members and the way in which

each country sees, perceives and uses the sport of orienteering. After the project time span, and aiming at a sustainable implementation, the impact of the project will be

determined by the existence of European based knowledge that can be transfer and adapted to many other settings and even with other sports. The guidelines and reports, as well as all communication and

promotional material will be available in each participating organisation and open for everyone, which will

increase the visibility and future activities of the partner organisations in the sport for all actions. The project synergies will impact in the desire of the project partners to continue working in the field and to continue

working cooperatively at their local, regional, national and international level.

For those outside the organisations partner of the project the impact is also quite relevant and powerful, meaning the communities in which the low-level urban orienteering events will be organized by the trained

sport leaders. This communities will have a new physical activity to do in their cities that do not exclude or

limits the participation, on the contrary it is as open and inclusive as possible. The stakeholders in each community in which partnerships can be formed, will also found a new sport that benefits them in their

activities. The trained young leaders in orienteering can at the moment not be involved in the partner organisations

and will be after the trainings. They will develop networks of peers around Europe and they will cooperate

and support each other in their plans to activate physically their communities through orienteering. Their new skills will also provide them with a new role in the communities as sport for all leaders and as an

inspiration for others volunteering and making a difference through sport for all. The openness of the educational and dissemination platform will bring orienteering to more people assuring

a longer impact in time after the project funding.

In terms of measuring the impact of the project the following items can be numeralized:

• quality of the non-formal education material developed

• number of events organized by trainees in 2021 and 2022

• feedback of participants after seminars and events

• number of participants in events

• reach out of communications channels

• number of successful stories of orienteering events as a sport for all activity

• number of partnerships built during the project in each community

As mentioned before, the construction of indicators and indexes of impact and success will be defined by each WP during the preparation phase of the project.

H.3. Dissemination Please describe:

• the dissemination plan and measures aimed at sharing the outcomes of project within and outside

the participating organisations,

• the plans for ensuring the sustainability of project showing its capacity to continue having an impact and producing results after the EU grant has been used up,

• if relevant, the extent to which materials, documents and media produced will be made freely

available and promoted through open licences.


The dissemination work of the project is a shared task between all project partners organisations, and it

runs throughout the whole project time span and after as well. Even though certain dissemination activities

are linked to activities to be developed by WP5, the full consortium will work with the aim of expanding the reach out of the project outcomes and activities.

As a first step, the project will use the Dissemination and Educational platform to make open and accessible

all materials developed during the project: this includes educational material, but also maps, courses and guidelines for implementation in low-level orienteering events. This platform will also be functional as a

communication website/hub for the promotion of events and activities organized by the trainees in their

own communities.

The hub will provide all information on the partnership objectives, contact data and upcoming milestones of the project itself. Social media profiles appearances, as well as traditional media (TV, radio, newspapers)

will be in charge nationally by each organisation. The project partners will also use their federation own

events, like elite competitions, to promote the project and the upcoming activities. This will require translation of information to the national languages; task to be done by each organisation. On the national

level the partners will communicate their actions with other sport organisation and stakeholders.

The project final conference will present all results reached and will include the participation of external partners that will work closely to keep the project alive. This way the platform for communication will be

open and still updating events, maps, and opportunities for young volunteers to plan events and for

participants to experience the benefits of orienteering.
