By implementing this project we want to strengthen youth work practice with a concrete, transferable methodology to prevent loneliness and build belonging through team sport and outdoor education, especially in rural and economically constrained contexts. The project responds to a practical gap in everyday youth work: many organisations use sport as an activity, but youth workers often lack structured tools to turn it into intentional non-formal education that supports inclusion, wellbeing and peer connection. Our ambition is to transform sport-based activities into learning environments where young people feel safe, included and able to develop social skills and confidence. The first objective is to improve the professional competences of youth workers to design and facilitate team sport sessions with clear youth work aims. Participants will strengthen their ability to create safe spaces, build trust, support cooperation, and prevent exclusion that can emerge in competitive environments. They will learn how to observe group dynamics, recognise early signs of isolation, and intervene through facilitation techniques that promote participation and mutual support. This competence is directly applicable in daily youth work, as it strengthens the quality of group work, the inclusiveness of activities and the wellbeing focus of practice. The second objective is to strengthen youth workers’ capacity to adapt activities so that young people facing fewer opportunities can participate meaningfully. From a youth work perspective this means designing low-cost and accessible sessions, using flexible rules and roles, and creating supportive group structures that do not privilege only the most confident or skilled. By focusing on rural realities and economic barriers, the project supports youth workers to bring quality opportunities to communities where options are limited and where loneliness is often intensified by distance and lack of social spaces. The third objective is to produce a practical English Playbook that captures tested methods and facilitation guidance for sport-based youth work focused on belonging and wellbeing. This resource will include step-by-step activities, inclusion adaptations and reflection tools so that youth workers can replicate the approach with young people and train colleagues. The Playbook is an objective from the perspective of youth work quality because it strengthens continuity, supports innovation in practice and enables wider uptake beyond the mobility group. A fourth objective is to strengthen recognition and reflective practice in youth work teams. Through competence self-assessment, daily reflection and Youthpass, participants will learn to describe and document learning outcomes, making youth work competences more visible and strengthening a culture of intentional learning design, evaluation and improvement in their organisations. Finally, the project aims to multiply impact by supporting participants to transfer learning into their organisations and share results through internal dissemination and European platforms. In youth work practice terms, success means that participating youth workers return with methods they apply, adapt and spread, leading to more inclusive, belonging-focused sport activities for young people and stronger organisational capacity to use non-formal education to support wellbeing and participation.
