STADT ANTWERPEN
Stad Antwerpen joins this partnership through Buurtsport, the sport department of the city of Antwerp. Through Buurtsport the city focuses on the socially vulnerable inhabitants of Antwerp. Neighbourhood sport has an objective to promote sport and physical activities for those who either don't participate in sport or face multiple challenges to join in. Through this initiative they become more acquainted with sport and increase their well-being. The main focus is the neighbourhoods where a bigger concentration of socially vulnerable residents can be observed. With Buurtsport, Stad Antwerpen uses sport and exercise as leverage to strengthen socially vulnerable residents and offer them more opportunities in the city, either by joining more daily activities or by having an active role in society.
