Inclusion Through Sport

Description

Inclusion through Sport” (ITS) was a Capacity Building Activity lasting for 2 years. The project involved 12 partners:1. Europe Programme Countries (PC): Italy, Bulgaria and Romania; 2. LAC: Argentina, Guatemala and Peru;3. Africa: Kenya, Senegal, Cameroon;4. Asia: India, China-Hong Kong and Philippines. The mission came from using Sport as a means to support community development and sustainability whilst promoting community values. The tool the PC developed was a Format TC which also focused on using Sports as a way of improving social inclusion of young people. A multi-directional transfer of knowledge took place between PC and the rest of the world. The idea of ITS was to develop a format TC to be spread as a comprehensive winning model in the 4 project continents and more countries. All partner organizations are already active in the field of Sport and they aimed at complementing their own endowment of skills and knowledge through mutual exchange of NFE instruments in the framework of the present project. The project was conceived as a long-term process comprising a differentiated set of activities ( Meetings, Format TC, Job Shadowings) with the aim to enhance knowledge ans share best practices from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. Moreover, the project aimed at fostering Sport as a tool for inclusion, to solve interpersonal conflicts among youngsters, to promote tolerance and to assist young people to understand issues of diversity via non formal education.All the partners involved shared the belief that young people have innovative ideas and creativity which can be the main ingredients for the development of the community as well as of civil society. ITS goal was also to prepare and test tools for developing key competencies in young people.While learning skills, initiative and entrepreneurship, social and civic competences, establishing methods for Sport combined with NFE, ITS used the European reference tools for validation and recognition of non-formal and informal learning, both for young people and youth workers, promoting lifelong learning and dissemination of good practices. Non formal education and youth work is a significant factor for the personal development, civic participation and inclusion of young people regardless of their social or national background. ITS implemented activities that built the capacity and skills of youth workers and of youth organisation’s staff empowering them in the support of the young people/children in facing today’s challenges. The project involved 12 partner countries (PC) that brought an added value to the youth work educational system. All partner countries suffer from problems with children and youngsters in general, mostly linked to criminality and orphanage.
