Information paper on the European Year of Education Through Sport (2004)
"Sport is an essential component of our society. It is hard to imagine a world without it in the daily lives of the millions of citizens in the European Union. They all go in for sport, not only in order to stay healthy and fit, but also to experience and cultivate community and competition with others. Values such as tolerance, team spirit or strength of character are apparently unconsciously practised and conveyed and thus sport serves as an indispensable educational tool – for precisely this reason. Thus the European Commission (Directorate General for Education and Culture) is supporting projects from sport and educational facilities throughout all of Europe which aim at enhancing the role of sport in the educational sphere within the scope of the European Year of Education through Sport 2004."
