Objectives

What do we want to achieve with this project? This is the first project that we organize in the erasmus + program, and our first youth exchange, which on this occasion wants to address the issues of inclusion and equality, the prevention of radicalization, and sports and health as tools for social change and the personal improvement of young people at risk of exclusion. In light of the growing levels of intolerance, discrimination and group hatred in Europe, the "Our name is Hope" project aims to protect young people by strengthening their resilience against these phenomena and their abilities to contribute to a peaceful and democratic society. We want to showcase our experience and past projects to discuss current experiences and challenges and provide the most vulnerable youth with an opportunity for life empowerment. What are the objectives of the project? -Improve the self-esteem of the young participants; offer them an alternative narrative about themselves, as agents of change and heroes of the neighborhood, capable of overcoming obstacles and defending their interests with respect, dialogue and tolerance. -Create a participatory, respectful and common space, where sports, teamwork and the different exchange activities offer young people the possibility of expressing themselves freely and reflecting and sharing about their interests, challenges and ambitions. -Discuss and reflect with young people about the dangers of extremism and social polarization; Learn about how to combat online hoaxes, hate speech and conspiracy theories that encourage radicalization. -Create transnational networks, that during and after the exchange continue to collaborate and generate new initiatives on the main topics of this application. -Build social and intercultural dialogue, give young people the opportunity to access an experience with lifelong impact. -Adopt a human rights approach in sport, focusing on the prevention of violent extremism; Collect materials resulting from the exchange and this methodology in Spanish for online publication as a resource guide against radicalization through sports practice. -Empowerment and self-organization of young people at the local level; increase their participation in civil society. -To promote all the natural values of sport, camaraderie, honor, honesty, respect, teamwork, participatory spirit, etc. -Foster a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, create habits and dynamics that create greater self-respect, better self-appreciation and greater balance in life.
