Mission & Goals
ISCA is a non-governmental international umbrella association with an active community of 3667 users and a democratic back-bone of 100 members from Europe and the rest of the world, promoting physical activity, social inclusion through sports, healthy lifestyle and grassroots sport in general. It was established in 1995 and has experienced sustained growth in membership and in turnover to a level of 4 million euro annually. ISCA has 23 staff members from 16 countries. Its management team has 12+ years of experience in international project development and management in grassroots sport and physical activity. ISCA is Moving People! Its mission is to empower organisations world-wide to enable citizens to enjoy their Human Right to MOVE. With a vision of “A world of physically active citizens in vibrant civil societies”, ISCA has been at the forefront of development and implementation of activities of specific European relevance.
EU Legislative Interests
ISCA primarily orients itself in and aims to contribute to policies in continuation of art 165 (TFEU), ie actions in the field of education, youth and in particular sport. In the case of sport, we focus in particular on grassroots sport and physical activity promotion, including Health-Enhancing Physical Activity. In continuation of this, we aim to contribute to policies in the field of Health, specifically as regards health prevention, health promotion, combating non-communicable diseases, in particular through Health-Enhancing Physical Activity. More generally, we follow processes in other Union areas of work, if they have connection to the above-mentioned fields, including EU External Actions, citizenship and human rights. We will therefore also engage in the discussions on the coming MFF
Communication Activities
ISCA implements several projects with EU funding in the aforementioned fields. These are primarily targeting capacity-building for CSOs, but also promotion of the societal value of grassroots sport more generally. We believe that these projects help inform future EU policies, and readily share outcomes and reports with relevant EU institutions.
