The Project
Break the Limits (BTL) is an Erasmus+ Not-for-Profit European Sport Event led by the Bulgarian Breaking Federation (BBF), in partnership with Fédération Française de Danse (FFD) from France and The House of Urban Culture (HOUC) from Germany. The project harnesses the power of breaking as a sport for all — combining physical activity, creativity, and social inclusion to address key priorities of the EU's sport agenda.
Objectives
The project is built around three interconnected objectives:
-
Encouraging broader participation in sport and physical activity: BTL promotes breaking as an accessible entry point into regular physical activity, with a focus on groups underrepresented in organised sport.
-
Fostering social inclusion and equal opportunities: BTL uses breaking as a tool for social cohesion, with dedicated programming around refugee integration and gender equality.
-
Promoting European values and international collaboration: BTL fosters transnational cooperation between sport organisations from Bulgaria, France, and Germany, promoting fair play, sportsmanship, and the Olympic spirit.
Events
BTL’s programme centres on three flagship events in three partner countries.
-
