Project Summary

Ability of sports sector to affect physical activity levels tends to be underutilized & it is recommended to support local authorities and NGOs that promote/organize sport. We are trying to put EU Guidelines/policies into action by educating more youth workers for quality envisioning and promoting the youth sport work events that thus contribute to increasing participation in quality sports. In order to achieve this, our project is also empowering the participants for starting quality and strategic partnerships with other stakeholders of youth sport work and for European Week of Sport (EWS).

The 9 days long TC Strategic partnerships and activities for promotion of youth sport work during the European Week of Sport is the core activity of the project. It gathers 32 participants, trainers and staff members from 14 partner organisations from 13 countries (RS, AL, ME, HR, MK, SI, IT, RO, BG, ES, MT, EE and CY). TC involves 12 people with fewer opportunities. TC will be held in Novi Sad, Serbia on 31/05 – 08/06/2016.
Objectives:
• Exchange realities on sports & youth work in our countries
• Understand & promote concept “Sports for all” and personal development on mental/physical level for youngsters through sports
• Exchange different sport methods/games from our countries and thus inspire creative development& innovative combining of those into future youth sport work activities
• Define all stakeholders in relation with youth sport work and understand difference between sport clubs/organisations and youth clubs/organisations and usage of sports in them
• Define what quality and strategic partnerships for youth sport work are and set recommendations for youth NGOs and youth sport workers how to develop those
• Discuss Sport and health policies in EU and candidate countries and further promote sport and health enhancing physical activities, especially by organising youth sport work activities and events for EWS
• Achieve common understanding of suitable youth sport work activities to be organised during the EWS; agree upon quality criteria and standards for organising those, envision and start developing them
• Learn how we can use Erasmus+ YiA for promotion of sport and health-enhancing physical activities
• Develop new projects and future European level cooperation among participating organizations with sports methodology in youth work

TC is based on the approach, principles and methods of non-formal education with lots of sport activities.

Project will have biggest impact on direct beneficiaries-participants who will further develop creative and analytical thinking of ways of active citizenship for development of inclusive and intercultural society through development of quality local and European projects promoting sports and respecting EU policies for it.
We expect increased number of youngsters practising sport methods and being guided by our youth workers how they can make use of their sports engagement/potential for personal development.
