Abstract

The PARKOUT project is an innovative initiative designed to promote outdoor sports, community engagement, and social inclusion. Funded by a major foundation through the "MindClub" program, the project emphasizes sustainability, well-being, and reducing inequalities, in line with the UN’s Agenda 2030. A central aspect of the project is the creation of Calisthenics structures in public parks, aiming to enhance physical health, foster social interaction, and empower young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The initiative also involves collaboration with local schools, associations, and healthcare services, expanding its impact beyond the immediate community. Despite the challenges posed by the global pandemic, the project has successfully mobilized local youth, transforming neglected public spaces into dynamic areas for physical activity and social cohesion. This paper discusses the project's achievements, challenges, and the positive transformation of local youth and public spaces, highlighting the role of sport as a tool for social change and community development.
