The problem of social exclusion is a reality for young people who are in a transition phase after compulsory schooling. With the options available and without certain knowledge of the most appropriate opportunities for their future, young people with fewer opportunities tend not to be able to set their own course and to embark on deviant paths. These paths translate into the young NEET and the young at risk of and social exclusion, incapacitated for their future. The aim of the project is to empower young people with new skills and learning, showing their opportunities for the future through sport and informal education.

 

Thus, it is up to the organizations in the field of social inclusion, Physical Education and Sports and Youth, to join efforts to create strategies of social inclusion based on sport and promoting the social values associated with sport.

As regards the European priorities in the field of sport, the project takes on the same priorities for:

- promotion of social inclusion and equal opportunities;

- promotion of education through the development of skills and learning through sport;

- promotion of gender equality, physical and mental health and the promotion of European sports values, both for games and support for the mobility of coaches, volunteers, staff, among others. Our objectives, as well as the priorities of the European Union, focus on the social inclusion of young people, making them more empowered, more aware and more proactive through sport and the values associated with sports. To this end, informal education - the basic values of sport - emerges to complement other methods of learning and skills development.

 

The needs that are highlighted in this project are, above all: the need for awareness of the values of sport in the development of skills and learning; the need to provide young people with knowledge of their vocational opportunities after compulsory education; the need to create social inclusion strategies based on sport and the values associated with sport among young people; the need to reduce the number of young NEETs and at risk of and social exclusion; the need to promote interculturality and the European dialogue to foster multiple and transnational strategies for social inclusion; the need to promote young people's proactivity, awareness and participation in sports and social life.
