Description
1) Objective
The expected results include:
- Promote, in and through sport, the direct engagement of young people affected by the war with meaningful activities in at local level, in their host communities;
- Facilitate overcoming trauma, adapt to new environments and create bonds with the temporary hosting communities;
Improve physical and mental well-being of those displaced by attending sport sessions; - Collect experiences and good practices for dissemination and further inspiration to take up similar initiatives elsewhere in Europe.
This pilot project will focus on encouraging community integration of children and youth. By improving their mental well-being by attending sport sessions, these individuals will eventually become ready to adjust to their new environment. Sport activities, with their power of bringing people together, will help interaction with the host community; facilitate integration into the education system and the labour market.To achieve the best results those activities should be organised at the local, grassroots level, mainly through grassroots sports clubs, involving only one country, as it is easier to respond to integration needs by implementing activities at the local level.The main beneficiaries will be children and young people affected by humanitarian crises and mass migration processes in the context of war.
Activities, games and sports must be designed in order to meet specific social and psychosocial goals. They need to be age appropriate, culturally appropriate and be considered in respect to the gender roles in the community. Building on the existing physical capacities of participants, experienced coaches will help them feel comfortable by encouraging those performing skills that they already know. Therefore, cooperation between grassroots sports clubs and centres that could offer social, psychological or pedagogical support would be important and required. This project would also involve, mainly as facilitators, sport4federations. In addition, the purpose of this proposal is to inspire other sport clubs to set up support programmes by publishing and promoting experiences and good practices.
