GAA’s Post

As the lead partner for Community Engagement within the ACCESS ERASMUS+ project, the GAA drew on its innovative Green Club programme to develop a new engagement model for European grassroots sports clubs. This Green Goals five-step plan can be applied across sports and national contexts to promote and facilitate simple and effective sustainability action at club level and has already been adopted and implemented by clubs in ACCESS partner countries Wales and Portugal. The ACCESS closing event in the King Baudouin stadium in Brussels (https://lnkd.in/eJ22vu_d), was attended by representatives of the Sport Unit at the European Commission, a number of Irish MEPs and Gaelic Games Europe’s Development Officer Tony Bass, was also an opportunity for the GAA to highlight the work being done by its clubs in Ireland to embed best practice in Energy, Waste, Water, Biodiversity and Travel & Transport in their grounds and operations. https://lnkd.in/eJekTVk8
