In our youth work for reconciliation, inclusion and intercultural acceptance in post-conflict areas and with migrants, we’ve noticed sport can bring people together, as when playing a sport together for the same team, team players are not focused on the interracial, interreligious and other differences between them, but are focused on building quality team work together respecting each other’s strengths and weaknesses and complementing each other.All project partners believe and are motivated by the fact that through sport, personal development of our beneficiaries is multiple. In connection to reconciliation and intercultural learning is mainly the fact that through sport our beneficiaries create a sense of personal identity and then it is easier to accept the others as they are, as well.Unfortunately, when organising education of their youth workers so far, partners could not find enough youth workers experienced in the topic and principles of using sport activities as methods in NFE/youth work for reconciliation and acceptance especially, as well as for using sport methodology in work with youngsters with fewer opportunities.Project aims at: Building capacity of youth (work) organisations, their youth workers in NFE for youth SPORT work for reconciliation and accepting diversity among youngsters in our communities and encouraging creative usage of sport and outdoor activities in youth work for reconciliation.Project activities:A1: Preparatory meeting, 19-23 Dec 2020; ME; 5 participantsA2: TC1 - 15-24 Feb 2021; RS; 29 participants (12 fewer opp) from ME, BA, RS, SE, DE.O1: Guidebook with Curriculum TC1 A3: Study visit In Berlin, 23-28 Apr 2021; DE; 15 participants (8 fewer opp)A4: TC2 - 7-15 Jun 2021; BA; 29 participants (11 fewer opp) O2: Guidebook with Curriculum TC2A5: TC3 - 9-17 Sep 2021; SE; 30 participants (10 fewer opp) O3: Guidebook with Curriculum TC3O4: Handbook on organising creative large-scale youth sport work eventsA6: YE - 21-30 Jan 2022; ME; 30 participants (16 fewer opp) A7: Local dissemination events, Feb 2022; ME, BA, RS, SE, DE.A8: Evaluation meeting, 15-20 Mar 2022; ME; 15 participants (8 fewer opp)+ Dissemination and reporting activitiesProject will contribute to capacity building and knowledge management of partner organisations, as well as other youth (work) organisations and respective youth workers and youngsters.
