Summary:

UrbanLeap is an innovative project designed to further the growth and accessibility of parkour in Southeast Europe. Building on the success of the Erasmus+ URBANGYM project, UrbanLeap seeks to address a critical challenge that has emerged in the wake of parkour’ rapid expansion: the lack of standardized, comprehensive educational resources for parkour instruction. Recognizing the existence of valuable but disparate training materials within various parkour organizations, UrbanLeap’s objective is the creation of a unified, researchdriven training manual. This manual aims to serve as an indispensable resource for trainers and instructors, promoting the adoption of best practices and improving the caliber of parkour training across the region. Following the manual’s development, UrbanLeap will initiate a targeted promotional campaign, featuring a series of sport events designed to highlight the benefits of parkour, increase its visibility, and attract the participation of youth and young adults. By integrating solid research, collaborative resource development, and impactful promotional activities, UrbanLeap is committed to fostering the popularity of parkour in Southeast Europe, cultivating a dynamic community bound by a shared enthusiasm for movement and self-discovery.
