Popis organizace:

The pleasure of movement and the desire to promote sport as one of the basic elements of a healthy lifestyle have brought us together. We started to become a team by running in a group and, especially, by participating in and organizing events dedicated to sport. At the end of 2012, we set up in a sport club called Club Sportiv Experiența Multisport (CSEM).

The Multisport Experience Club is a non-profit organization focused on the promotion of sports as means for a healthy lifestyle, with a proven track record in organizing local sports events and activities for and with young people. CSEM actively encourages, supports and promotes participation in multiple sports to help children and youngsters improve their physical, mental, and social skills.

CSEM had the following objectives, for 2012- 2018:
- To involve in a running event at least 1% of the population from Arad city;
- At least 30 members of the organization to have a half marathon realized;
- At least 15 members of the club to have a marathon realised;
- At least one member of the organisation to have an Iron Man realised (3.8 km swimming, 180 km riding a bike, 42.197 km running);
These objectives were totally accomplished! For example, in 2015 we had more than 1% of Arad population in our ”Marathon, half-marathon and road running of Arad” – 1872 persons from Arad (1,18%) from a total of 2587 participants.
Now we continue on a higher level to involve people in grassroots sport.

EVENTS:
During the first 6 years (2013-2018), CSEM organized more than 24 events to promote sports and a healthy lifestyle:
- Căsoaia Bike Race – 2013;
- Half marathon and road running of Arad county – 2013;
- Green Duathlon – 2013;
- Arad Duathlon – 2014-2017;
- Arad Triathlon – 2014-2017;
- Tomato festival on bikes – 2013-2018;
- Peștera Românești Bike Race – 2015;
- Funsbee – Frisbee event – 2015;
- Marathon, half-marathon and road running of Arad – 2014-2018;

On all these events we had a total number of more than 13500 participants.

The number and impact can be very different, from 30-50 in small events, such as Funsbee or Tomato festival on bikes to middle size events (Arad Duathlon, Arad Triathlon - around 200 participants). The biggest event is “Marathon, half-marathon and road running of Arad” which has thousand of participants and where we had in 2015 a record of 2587 people running.

Why events? Because we noticed that the energy of a town will be better mobilised through these kind focused activities and for them people are starting to change their customs. Of course, we have some other regular activities, as it can be seen below but at the end of the day the events can make the BIG difference in terms of habits, awareness and impact.

Apart from organizing local and regional sports events, CSEM also facilitates and promotes within the community European trends and visions, such as:
- Suggesting and implementing sports activities, projects and programs;
- Organizing sports competitions, events, and projects, locally, nationally and internationally;
- Applying methods from formal or non-formal education;
- Promoting a healthy lifestyle among children and youngsters;
- Developing management and leadership skills of young people;
- Promoting and developing intercultural programs.

As a target group, we work in particular with youth in activities dedicated to sports, but people of all age groups have access to the organized events. We work on a daily basis with local and EVS volunteers as we consider it to be most beneficial for all parties involved. Working with youth helps them embrace a healthier lifestyle, develop entrepreneurial skills and facilitate personal development. Throughout the projects, we facilitate the best environment for each of our volunteers to be able to express their ideas and use their experience and expertise to improve the club’s activity and to continuously learn from each other.
