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 will contribute to capacity building and knowledge management of partner organisations, as well as other youth (work) organisations and respective youth workers and youngsters. It will contribute to developing sense of reconciliation, tolerance and understanding of diversity, not only among participants, but also among further beneficiaries of different youth sport work activities (with mainstream and marginalised groups) that will be lead and managed by participants of this project activities.
