Social SportUp is a unique boost program for so-called ‘social sports practices’ who want to realize a social innovation in the sports and exercise sector. These practices organize sports, but also do social work, youth work and welfare work. The participants in the boost program receive professional guidance in the development, growth, communication, financing and networking of their organisation. In trainings and workshops they are challenged and helped by experts and other innovators who are in the same phase of the innovation cycle.

The Camionette Cup is a challenging activity for people with an impairment, mental health issues or chronic diseases in Flanders. In the Camionette Cup - which is inspired by the Belgian TV show Container Cup - participants are given a variety of tasks that test their balance, coordination, endurance, reaction speed, strength, precision and much more. Exercise tests range from cycling the furthest distance possible in three minutes, to maintaining balance for as long as possible. For wheelchair users, there is also a wheelchair skills test, and the tests are adapted for people with visual impairments. The Camionette Cup travels through the entire country to crown the most versatile sports club in Flanders.

SWEEP is an online platform that aims to inspire, activate, and bring together young people between 12 and 18 years old to be active during school hours and in their free time and have fun doing so.
SWEEP focuses on all youths but pays extra attention to those target groups who show more inactivity according to scientific research, like girls, young people with a migration background, and teens in a socially vulnerable situation.
