NOMADs - European Youth for Inclusive Sport
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

NOMADs is a collaborative partnership that will develop in 3 years a program targeting young European volunteers and athletes, to involve them in projects supporting sport for all events.The partnership is composed by 11 sport for all and voluntary service organizations from 6 EU Countries, and will create, pilot and launch an European platform to allow local events, championships and tournaments to involve youngsters from different social backgrounds and coming from another EU Country. The platform will be based on a European map of sport for all events and organizations, and will be supported by capacity building and training materials addressing local clubs and organizations from the sport for all movement.As “voluntary service” and “sport for all” organizations the promoters share goals and values, following the recommendations and the policies promoted by EU, but have to deal with a lack of coordination and mutual support when developing programmes for young citizens. At national and EU level there are no stable collaborative platforms to bridge the objectives and to empower the respective actions, and the promoters will try to fill this gap.Volunteers are the lifeblood of local sport clubs: promoting volunteering, with the participation of young Europeans, will raise awareness on racism, common understanding and social inclusion. It also supports local organizations to attract new young volunteers, as the intercultural dimension triggers interest and enthusiasms. For young Europeans the NOMADs programme will represent a concrete and unique opportunity to live the European citizenship, while discovering the benefits of sports and gaining competences and citizenship experiences. The project will involve directly 600 young volunteers in mobility, 4500 young athletes, 28 coaches, 70 practitioners, 64 local communities and sport for all organizations, 18 voluntary service organizations.NOMADs is intended to be a permanent program for the future.
