Project Summary

SCRED (Sport Community ReportED) employs the potential of Sport and Community Reporting to empower youth lworkers in Europe and Africa in stimulating the recognition and use of Sport in its quality as agent of community participation and approach to address the problems and needs of society and, particularly, disadvantaged young people. The EC (My region, My Europe, Our Future, 2017) notes the persistence of concerning social issues in a landscape of renewed European growth, underlining lower rates of labour market inclusion for disadvantaged groups (among whom women and migrants), risk of in-work poverty and sub-optimal impact of extant poverty-reduction schemes. In this context, urban settings represent the core of economic dynamism but also the playing grounds of peculiar and acute problems, as unemployment, social segregation ad poverty. Young people are severely affected by educational exclusion (10,6% of 18-24 early leavers in Europe according to EUROSTAT) and exclusion from employment (6,1% of youngsters 18-24 in the EU-28 NEETs based on EUROSTAT findings). The UN Economic Commission for Africa (Economic Report on Africa, 2017) outlines how African cities face low productivity, tepid job creation, high informality, huge infrastructure and service gaps, weak linkages with rural areas, high levels of informality, increasing inequalities, growing environmental damage and vulnerability to climate change. The World Bank quantifies African young people as composing 60% of the unemployed in the region. Sport has a social, economic and educational value as well as presents a substantial potential as agent of inclusion for disadvantaged groups. Sport is widely employed at the level of grassroots youth and civil society groups as an instrument to gather people together for reflecting and acting on common challenges and concerns. In this context, the project employs the methodology of community reporting as an instrument for reconnoitring and empowering the bottom-up role of social aggregator played by Sport for communities and particularly for disadvantaged categories of youth. Community reporting is a storytelling movement that uses responsible story telling practices and digital tools such as portable and pocket technologies to support people telling and sharing their own stories. To Achieving the project’s goals the following techniques will be used: Snapshot Stories, Dialogue Interviews and Personal Monologues. All of stories will be posted on the web-platform. SCRED objectives are the following: a) Producing and piloting Training Format for developing youth workers as trainers in community reporting programmes targeted at young people who are active in Sport; b) Empowering young young people who are active in Sport as Community Reporters on grassroots Sport practice at the level of the community in a Youth Exchange; c) Carrying out a phase of local activity where in Sport community reporters will collect community ins
