The reason for the ‘From Small to Great’ (FROMSTOG) project is the desire of the five countries involved, to get to know each other better, to learn from each other and to set up joint projects to contribute to the development of gymnastics in every country.

The initiative was taken by Mr. Almir Atikovic (Gymnastics club Tuzla) and Mr. Jorlan van Riel (Sports club Flik-Flak). They met in November 2018 through Stefan Groothuis in the context of an program from NGO organization Sports for Children (SFC).

It was a mutually inspiring meeting and the intention was quickly made to come together with a number of countries to speak about developments within the gymnastics in their country. After all; this would benefit many sporting children in all countries.

We decided to submit an application to the EU under the Erasmus-plus program for the call of 4 April 2019. The plan was written with joint effort and ultimately submitted under the responsibility of Sportclub Flik-Flak.
