Empower Diverse Youth – Build up Youth Participation and Inclusion in Sport Organisations
Despite the positive effects of sport on everyone, certain groups in sport are underrepresented. The SPIN Youth project aims to increase the participation of young people with diverse backgrounds (such as migrants, refugees, ethnic minorities) in sport, both active and in non-playing positions, and contributes to the creation of inclusive, discrimination-free sport environments which pro-actively welcome diversity and equality.
Sport Inclusion Network (SPIN) together with new partners have developed this innovative youth-driven sport inclusion project. Coming of age amid a pandemic, young people have displayed extraordinary resilience. However, there is a clear need for meaningful, coordinated support and pro-actively involvement of youth in various sectors (education, youth, employment). Sport and physical activities can play a vital role.
This Online Toolkit is one of the key deliverables of SPIN YOUTH, a platform where all project results are gathered and shared with the public to ensure the sustainability of the project idea. The specific objective is to provide a basis for the dissemination of the aims, the services, the outputs and the deliverables to the different target groups interested by the project.
