(Annex I) that explained the research process and gave instructions on how to collect the data.
In order to provide the easiest access for participants, the survey was a selfadministered online survey. The survey was conducted through the software “SurveyMonkey” to facilitate easy access, language translations, and a streamlined analysis of the data. Partners were also able to provide analogue printouts of the survey to participants unfamiliar with the technology or unable to digitally participate. These responses were then manually entered into the software.

Survey Participants
The two stakeholder groups were the target of this study. More specifically, we targeted citizens participating in grassroots leisure and sporting events organized on local and national levels. These were at least 16 years old and would generally be participants of local sports events. Partners were advised to reach out through sport events, social media and newsletters, and through other partner organizations. The second target group were people working with local sports events (this included sports organizations, schools, and volunteers). Respondents were at least 16 years old and were actively involved in creating and implementing local sports events. Partners were advised to reach out through their personal networks, newsletters and emails, and workshops or conferences. Partners were requested to reach at least 15-20 respondents of each target group.
General demographics
370 participants provided valid responses (553 people in total began the survey, but some did not complete it). Table 1 presents general demographics of respondents. It can be seen that survey respondents were generally quite equal in regard to gender and type of target group. This means that the conclusions drawn in this report can be compared regarding these differences. However, most respondents were located in urban areas. Since rural areas and capital cities are underrepresented, most of the implementations suggested in this report will target urban areas of local sports events.
