Our project, “Utilization of Dynamic Sports in the Context of Youth Work”, funded under the KA153 Erasmus+ program focusing on the Mobility of Youth Workers, endeavors to equip youth workers with the tools and knowledge to leverage sports and physical activity as potent instruments for fostering the active participation and inclusion of young people in society.
Central to our objectives is exploring inclusion principles and teamwork dynamics, emphasizing their relevance to youth work. Through shared experiences and insights, participants gain valuable perspectives on addressing the needs of marginalized youth within diverse communities.
Our project fosters collaboration and exchange, bringing together a cohort of 30 participants from seven different countries: Germany, Greece, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, and Cyprus. Partnerships from these nations ensure a rich and diverse learning environment, enriching the discourse on youth inclusion and social impact.
Participants in our training session are envisioned as dedicated individuals committed to working with young people facing fewer opportunities in their local communities. While prior experience with marginalized groups such as orphans, refugees, and migrants is desirable, it is not a prerequisite. Basic knowledge of facilitating sports and outdoor-based learning processes, coupled with a passion for developing new non-formal education tools, forms the foundation for engagement in our program.
Our project aims to transcend geographical boundaries and foster cross-cultural collaboration by nurturing a community of youth trainers and workers. Through local and national workshops developed collaboratively during the training course, participants can implement their newfound skills and tools in their respective contexts, catalyzing positive change within their communities.
The “3×3 Urban Festival,” scheduled to take place in Cyprus from June 2nd to 10th, 2024, serves as a dynamic platform for learning and networking. Participants will delve into the transformative potential of sports in promoting physical and mental well-being among young people, while also exploring innovative approaches to youth inclusion and empowerment.
Join us on this transformative journey as we harness the power of sports to nurture inclusion, resilience, and valuable life skills among young people. Together, we can pave the way for a more inclusive and compassionate society, one where every young person has the opportunity to thrive and contribute meaningfully to their community. Our journey begins on March 14, 2024, marking the commencement of a collaborative effort towards a brighter and more inclusive future.
