Between youth work and grassroots sport there is a great potential of exchanging practices and synergies in order to involve young people in youth communities and provide experience in developing citizenship skills. The project is aiming to create a structured way of sharing and collecting good practices both in grassroots sport (including school sport) and youth work and make a collection of inclusive practices using sport and physical education that provide learning for inclusion and citizenship. Four organisations (Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria, Italy) joined their resources and experience to promote and develop the role of sport in empowering citizenship skills of young people to build more inclusive and democratic communities, by sharing and disseminating the practices of using sport and physical education as a tool for inclusion. The project will mobilize and motivate hundreds practitioners form the fields of sport, education and youth work and will involve 24 practitioners to exchange practices, will collect and document 24 practices of how to use sport and physical activities to improve inclusion of discriminated young people in schools, grassroots sport teams and in youth communities. Four partners and their associated partners - from fields of sport, formal education and youth work - will work together closely throughout this project, through meetings and exchange of practices where new professional relationship and partnership can develop. Four national consultation meeting will strengthen the cooperation among the associated partners on the basis of discussing the developing the role of sport in inclusion. It will create a focus on this issue and the people coming from the three sectors can learn a lot from each other. The four national and one international Toolfair event will provide space for sharing and exchanging these practices among successful practitioners using sport and physical activities for developing skills and competence of young people in creating an inclusive community.An online tool will be created to collect and disseminate these practices, theory and methodology within the partner organisations and make them available in all the participating countries for a wider public of all three domains (online collection of practices and methods). The online tool will be a reference of resources and cooperation for sport, education and youth work with the focus of inclusion of discriminated young people.Furthermore the project would like to provide recommendations to national sport policy administration, European Commission and also to the Council of Europe to show and develop the potential role of sport communities in improving inclusion and combat discrimination. We would like to document new ideas, needs and proposals that could be relevant for policy makers in the field of sport, education and youth work and advocate for widely use the potentials of sport for improving inclusion of discriminated young people in youth communities. Education though sport for inclusion and citizenship has great potentials in physical education of schools, in training coaches and PE teachers, and working with disadvantaged young people where there is nothing else than a football field in the village. In this regard the project could provide further evidence to policy makers for taking measures to develop conditions and competence in the three sectors.
