  Finally, during the last 4 months of the project, each partner will implement two Local Dissemination Events. In the first event, partners will promote the project as well as Erasmus+ Sports as a programme of the European Union, and the outputs (i.e the manual and toolkit). In the second event, partners will implement two activities for local young people to promote a healthy lifestyle and participation in sports.
