HALTING HARASSMENT AND
ABUSE IN SPORTS USING
LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES
Halting Harassment and Abuse in Sports using Learning Technologies (HALT)
is a three-year project which looks to raise awareness of best practices in
combating violence and tackling racism, discrimination and intolerance in sport.
The project will create and
exploit learning technologies
(digital games, digital
informative material, movies
and online community of
practice platforms) developed by
academics to address this goal
in a wide network of athletes
across Europe, supported by
sports and athlete organisations.
HALT will look to develop Online
Communities of Practice (CoP)
for awareness and knowledge
about harassment and abuse
in sports among athletes,
academic experts and sport
sector stakeholders.
The project’s aim is to enable
knowledge-sharing and the
emergence of best practices
with an emphasis on athletes’
awareness and knowledge about
harassment and abuse in sport;
develop e-learning material;
minimise the risk of offending
behaviour of people involved in
sports; identify new areas for
policy intervention; and develop
anti-harassment and abuse-
protection social norms through
whistleblowing promotion across
all levels and types of sports.In November 2020, HALT project
partners presented the promo
video of the project, as well as
the main resource tools: games,
a whistleblowing tool and the
community of practice which
all address different types ofabuse and harassment, including
emotional, physical, sexual and
neglect.Partners of this transnational
project include the Aristotle
University of Thessaloniki (GRE);
European University Cyprus
(CYP); Portuguese Union of
Professional Football Players
(POR); Spanish Women Futsal
Players Association (ESP);
Salzburg Sports Association
(AUT); Hellenic Gymnastics
Federation (GRE) and the EUSA
Institute (SLO).The project is co-funded by the
Erasmus+ Programme of the
