Sustainability

These are our goals:

3. Good health and well-being

Sports is the main foundation of Barents Sports, because physical and mental health is an important part of a good and meaningful life in our region. Sports has the unique ability to unify us and sets the tone for lasting relationships and cooperation across borders.

5. Gender equality

Our main event, the Barents Games, represents players in all sports from both genders, and we strive to uphold this ideology. In the event of few players in a sport for one of the genders, players still get to participate, despite maybe not filling all requirements for participation.

10. Reduced inequalities

Barents Games should be fully financed for all sports participants. Everyone can compete, despite having personal financial difficulties.

11. Sustainable cities and communities

Barents Sports is an organization whose goal is to make it attractive for young people to live in the region. To do so, a well-developed sports activity program, as well as networking opportunities, are important. Making sure young people want to move back home after studies and settle in the region, it is crucial to create a sustainable Barents. Centralization is challenging.

16. Peace, justice, and strong institutions

The cooperation within Barents Sports is an important part of building figurative bridges between all four countries. Its main purpose is to create fellowship and build relations across borders, as a preventive measure to uphold peace and justice between countries and people.

17. Partnership for the goals

Barents Sports is based purely on the equality and membership of the four Barents countries. It sets the foundation for our goal to end prejudgment, as well as create positive people-to-people relations in our region.
