Inclusion through Sport” (ITS) will be a Capacity Building Activity lasting for 2 years. The project will involve 12 partners:1. Europe Programme Countries (PC): Italy France and Spain; 2. LAC: Argentina, Brazil and Guatemala;3. Africa: Kenya, Senegal, Cameroon ;4. Asia: India, China-Hong Kong and Philippines. The mission comes from using Sport as a means to support community development and sustainability whilst promoting community values. The tool the PC wants to develop is a Format TC which will also focus on using Sports as a way of improving social inclusion of young people. A multi-directional transfer of knowledge will happen between PC and the rest of the world. The idea of ITS is to develop a format TC that will be spread as a comprehensive winning model in the 3 continents and more countries. All partner organizations are already active in the field of Sport and they aim at complementing their own endowment of skills and knowledge through mutual exchange of NFE instruments in the framework of the present project. The project is conceived as a long-term process comprising a differentiated set of activities ( Meetings, Format TC, Job Shadowings) with the aim to enhance knowledge ans share best practices from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. Moreover, the project intends to foster Sport as a tool for inclusion, to solve interpersonal conflicts among youngsters, to promote tolerance and to assist young people to understand issues of diversity via non formal education.All the partners involved share the belief that young people have innovative ideas and creativity which can be the main ingredients for the development of the community as well as of civil society. ITS goal is also to prepare and test tools for developing key competencies in young people.While learning skills, initiative and entrepreneurship, social and civic competences, establishing methods for Sport combined with NFE, ITS wants to use of the European reference tools for validation and recognition of non-formal and informal learning, both for young people and youth workers through promoting lifelong learning and dissemination of good practices. Non formal education and youth work is a significant factor for the personal development, civic participation and inclusion of young people regardless of their social or national background.ITS has the goal to implement activities that build the capacity and skills of youth workers and of youth organisation’s staff in order to empower them in the support of the young people/children in facing today’s challenges. - Evaluation Meeting in Kenya: coming back to the country where the project’s idea took place. The project will involve 12 partner countries (PC) that will bring an added value to the youth work educational system. All those countries suffer from problems with children and youngsters in general, mostly linked to criminality and orphanage.
