  Francesca Lucchi
  COUNCILLOR OF
  THE MUNICIPALITY OF CESENA

Dear Partners,

The Municipality of Cesena is proud to be partner of the In Common Sports project, since fostering active lifestyle among its population at every age is a priority for the city. Attracting elderly people to sports represents a great investment for their well-being, in terms of inclusion and socialising activities and in terms of mental and physical well-being as well. It represents also a concrete answer to the challenge of ageing society that we are facing in our countries. Integrated urban policies are the key of counteracting this challenge, and In Common Sports is a simple but challenging receipt of citizens' participation, health, demographic and social intervention, all in one.
