Judo klub Gorica je s 1.12.2024 postal ponosni izvajalec Erasmus + šport projekta z naslovom SAFESPORT.
Projekt izvajamo skupaj z partnerji Judo klub Rijeka, Hrvaška in Aetoi Thessalonikis, Grčija.
Primarni cilj projekta je uvedba programa GSMP (Genius Safe Motor Program) v sisteme izobraževanja trenerjev in otrok. Smernice programa GSMP zajemajo celoten spekter razvoja tako telesne dejavnosti kot tudi varnostnih protokolov (kot npr. učenje varnega padanja). Program GSMP zajema ključna načela iz juda kot so učenje padanja, kritično razmišljanje, kontrola telesnega stika, spoštovanje, predanost, ki jih so preneseni skozi različne dogodke in treninge trenerjem in drugim aktivnim udeležencem.
