Media connectivity allows greater communication and information flow, but the fast and often uncontrolled flow of information can also lead to increasingly polarized representations of those people (e.g. refugees, migrants, sick or disabled people, etc.) among receiving communities, by conjuring xenophobic viewpoints that effectively ‘strip the humanity’ away from migrants and refugees. We believe that fostering these skills and dispositions among the public is the responsibility of governmental and non-governmental organizations that interface with the problem of lack of social inclusion. The question of how organizations, public actors, and citizens can appropriate digital and media literacies to foster more engagement, empathy, and connection between receiving communities and refugees/migrants is the starting point of this project. The project with a partnership of 8 European countries, focuses on the idea that young people can do sport in order to increase social inclusion. The main target group in terms of end-users is youth 18-40, from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. At the same time, the benefits of the project stretch beyond the young people who will directly participate in the training, because it will provide a platform for expression for excluded societies in the participating countries and aim to foster tolerance and solidarity between cultures, empowering young Europeans to be active, participative citizens, which is beneficial to the community at large. During the project life cycle, the partners will be designing an innovative methodology for empowering young people to address issues related to social inclusion, look for solutions and provoke action using critical thinking. The methodology will be based on a few interrelated workshops. Participation in sports activities the training program will help young people to think logically and constructively to solve issues that they encounter in real life and put their ideas into practice being active. The main objectives are:-To promote the role of the sport as a tool for the integration of youth with fewer opportunities.-Inclusion of the project's end-users to the society through innovative tools, materials, and methods-Development of flexible and practical solutions (outputs and activities) that could be easily transferred to other national contexts, apart from those of the partner countries.-Creation of new methodologies for social inclusion using a sport as a tool-Gather passionate young people to experience a new tool and share their experiences, be inspired by new moves and sport techniques.-Using sport as a tool to show that there are no borders between generations and that they are equal society members.The project will :Strengthen the capacity of youth workers and youth organizations in working with/for social inclusionImprove their personal skills, making them more open-minded Boost active citizenship of the youth of the 21th-century skills like problem-solving, being active, self-expression, creativity, etc.Support the social inclusion of both migrants/refugees and the young participants' of the project as well.
