Fans Against Violence
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Fans Against Violence is an international project, which aims to reduce fan violence in basketball. Fan violence in sport is a serious issue that has various negative effects on clubs, athletes, spectators and even the image of the game itself. This project aims to decrease the violence by increasing the communication between fans of different teams, raise empathy and ultimately create a value of being a fan of basketball instead of being only the fan of a team. The project is unique because of three aspects. Firstly, it is a project managed by Basketball federations, as the main policy makers in basketball from Bulgaria, Croatia, Lithuania, Spain and Turkey and it increase the corporate and sustainable partnership in European Level. Second aspect is the methodology of the projects, as its' main idea is to involve Fan groups as an active part of problem solving. Since fan leaders are the only people who can control fan groups’ behaviors, we plan to reach them at first place and appoint them as an active part of the project. And third, we aim to build a Structural Dialogue between all stakeholders to make efficient policies against violence and fan incidents. Even tough Basketball federations are in charge of the project, the great value could only be revealed by the active participation of clubs, fans and other stakeholders such as players,academicians, law enforcement agencies, and media.By the strategic implementation of the project, the positive values are going to be spread to basketball games in selected leagues with a campaign designed and lead by Fans. The outcomes, the positive results aand the entellektual outputs of this project could later be implemented by other European basketball federations and other sport branches as a constitute good example .
