Abstract

Sport has come to have all these valences due to its global popularity and the major force it has in promoting the importance of movement for various aspects of a person's life, a community or a society. Thus emerged the concept of sport for social impact, which in a broader definition represents the ways in which sport and physical education can be used consciously and with intention as part of interventions that solve major problems such as pollution, discrimination, poor health, access to education, lack of civic involvement. Although we most often look at sports activities with a hat of performance, of large global competitions, of established athletes, sport for social impact has at least as consistent a dimension, only that most of the time it is marginal to some sports activities assimilated to sports of performance. This paper begins with a presentation of what social entrepreneurship in sports means, then continues with a small study carried out by those from Ashoka who analysed the local dimension of sports entrepreneurship and discovered hundreds of projects of this kind in Romania, and in the last part presents some of the successful project’s representative of social entrepreneurship in the sports field.
