Sport is a powerful tool for promoting intergenerational fairness, as it creates connections between different age groups and fosters mutual understanding, emotions, and physical contact. One such example is the JOY (Judo connecting Older and Younger Generations) project www.judojoy.eu, which demonstrates how judo can bridge the gap between older and younger generations, contributing to their physical, social, and psychological well-being.

Intergenerational initiatives like judo support successful ageing and provide young people with opportunities for holistic development. Such programmes enhance health and well-being while strengthening the sense of belonging, cooperation, and emotional connection between generations.

This initiative aims to influence policy by promoting intergenerational fairness through sport, ensuring that people of all ages benefit from the positive impacts of physical activity and social interaction. By fostering more inclusive and connected communities, we can create a more equitable society for future generations.
