The competence centre will be contributing actively to the implementation of the action plan for promoting physical activity initiated by the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Social Affairs, and the Ministry of Education and Research and coordinating the activities of the annual European Week of Sport and physical activity events in Estonia.
In its operations, the competence centre proceeds from the goals and main directions of the strategy documents ‘Estonia 2035’ and ‘Sport 2030’ and from the targets arising from the articles of association of the CCPA. The CCPA observes the principles of sustainable development and environmental protection, accessibility, and equal treatment, as well as the good management practice approved by the Estonian Olympic Committee in organising its activities.
