In an increasingly competitive society, young people develop the belief that the most importante thing is the end result, neglecting the whole process of learning and training. This is why the focus on projects aimed at education and development of young people through sport, plays a key role in the formation of future members of society.The training of young people through sport transmits several principles and values, which will eventually be transported to their own lives. Education through sport is more than promoting fair play and a healthy life style in society, it eliminats social barriers, creats a sense of belonging and community, strengthens team spirit, solidarity, comradeship and mutual help, amongst each other. All these arguments are consistent with the fundamentals that substanciated the decision establishing the European Year of Education through Sport, in which the European Parliament underlined the educational and social value of sport as well as its role in combating racism and xenophobia. As indicated, the Youth Education and Development: Sport as a tool - YEDS wants:a) To sensitize educational institutions and Sport organizations to the need for cooperation;b) To promote the values conveyed through sport (eg: to develop the knowledge and personal skills, promote personal effort, teamwork, solidarity, tolerance and fair play in a multicultural framework);c) To promote awareness of the positive contribution of voluntary activities in education;d) To promote the educational value of mobility and exchange amongst young people;e) encourage the exchange of good practice;f) create a better balance between intellectual and physical activity in school life;g) Consider the education of young athletes taking part in competitive sports. The YEDS project will start with contacts via e-mail between partners to begin to outline the entire seminar.
