SOCIAL PROMOTION ASSOCIATION

Sport is training for life.

We support, in Italy and around the world, those who bring sport where it normally doesn’t reach — through partnerships and financial support for projects that share our idea of inclusion.

ABOUT US

We don’t play on the field. We make it possible to play.

Ludus Vitae was born from a simple idea: sport, lived well, doesn’t just train the body. Anyone lacing up running shoes or stepping onto a field is learning to be part of a team, to respect rules and opponents, to fall and get back up.

We don’t run teams or organize championships. Our work is different: standing alongside those who already practice and teach sport every day, on the field — and giving them the means to go further than they could alone.

WHAT WE DO

The projects we support

We support, financially and through partnership, organizations that share our idea of sport — chosen for their consistency with our values, not for their fame.

— Our mission

OUR VALUES

What guides the choices we make

Inclusion

No one is left off the field. We particularly support projects that open sport to people with disabilities and to those starting from disadvantaged conditions.

Wellbeing

Sport as an ally of psychological wellbeing — not a substitute for a care pathway, but a companion along the way.

Community

Sport unites people before it makes anyone win. We build bonds between people, associations and different territories.

Subsidiarity

We don’t replace those already doing good work in their communities: we support them, with resources and visibility, so they can do more.

Respect

For the rules, for opponents, for oneself. It’s the first thing sport teaches, and the first thing we want to safeguard.

Gratuitousness

What we do comes from giving, not from profit. The value of a project isn’t measured only in sporting results.
