The official formation of the Scort Foundation took place in January 2007. It is located in Triesen, Principality of Liechtenstein.
Scort is a non-profit and politically independent foundation that organises and supports socially orientated sport activities for children and youth. To implement this Scort co-operates with football clubs and social organisations. Scort offers them a platform for exchange and communication. The well being of children and youth who live in difficult living conditions and the encouragement of integration-, peace and development initiatives are always in the focus of the work. Together with its partners Scort initiates projects on local as well as on international level.
The name of the foundation is composed of different words and already contains different aims:
Sport promote integration, health, development and peace through sport initiatives
Core educate core values of life
Score reach goals and ensure sustainability
Sport as a tool for development and peace-building projects offers the ideal framework and general conditions to connect and unite people beyond all frontiers. Sporting initiatives are an effective method to overcome differences between societies, people, ethnicities, religions and cultures. Sport also fosters personal development, encourages self-confidence and conveys values like team spirit, fair play and responsibility. Scort applies exactly this positive energy of sport for sustainable and social intentions – to support international development and peace-building strategies as well as the local youth.
