Frankfurt, Nemčija – 4. november 2024: V evropskem športu se odvija prelomni trenutek! Projekt *Building European Safe Sport Together* (BESST), podprt s sredstvi programa Erasmus+, razkriva ključno spoznanje: večina evropskih športnih organizacij je še v začetnih fazah implementacije varnostnih standardov. A spremembe so v zraku! S svežimi publikacijami in orodji, ki so jih razvili strokovnjaki BESST, športne organizacije dobivajo praktična orodja za gradnjo varnega športnega okolja brez transgresivnega vedenja.
Daniela Negreda iz organizacije IGNITX poudarja: “Projekt BESST je vzbudil veliko zanimanje po vsej Evropi. Nove metode omogočajo športnim organizacijam takojšnjo implementacijo varnostnih standardov, ki temeljijo na dveh letih raziskav in sodelovanja z evropskimi partnerji.”
Projekt je uvedel sodobno definicijo “transgresivnega vedenja”, ki zajema vse oblike zlorab moči v športu. Poleg tega nudi vodnike, preverjene zakonodajne okvire in prilagodljive izobraževalne pripomočke. Partnerji projekta, med katerimi je tudi ponosni partner *Hiti Academy Bled Hawks*, skupaj z Olimpijskim komitejem Slovenije in evropskimi akademskimi inštitucijami, stremijo k skupnemu cilju: da vsak udeleženec v športu doživi varno in spoštljivo okolje.
BESST spodbuja vse športne organizacije, da se pridružijo gibanju za varno športno kulturo. Več informacij in dostop do virov lahko najdete na [https://besst-safesport.eu](https://besst-safesport.eu).

**European Sports Organisations at the Forefront of Building a Safe Sport Culture!**
Frankfurt, Germany – November 4, 2024: A pivotal moment is unfolding in European sports! The *Building European Safe Sport Together* (BESST) project, funded by the Erasmus+ program, reveals a crucial insight: most European sports organisations are still in the early stages of implementing safeguarding standards. But change is on the horizon! With fresh publications and tools developed by BESST experts, sports organisations now have practical resources to build a safe sports environment free from transgressive behaviour.
Daniela Negreda from IGNITX highlights, “The BESST project has sparked interest across Europe. These new methods enable sports organisations to immediately implement safeguarding standards based on two years of research and collaboration with European partners.”
The project has introduced a modern definition of “transgressive behaviour,” covering all forms of power misuse in sports. Additionally, it provides guidelines, legal frameworks, and adaptable educational resources. Project partners, including the proud partner *Hiti Academy Bled Hawks*, along with the Olympic Committee of Slovenia and European academic institutions, are united in the goal of ensuring every participant in sports experiences a safe and respectful environment.
BESST encourages all sports organisations to join the movement towards a safe sport culture. For more information and access to resources, visit [https://besst-safesport.eu](https://besst-safesport.eu).
