The experience of development perspectives in these areas of active citizenship ,leadership and employability . We are very passionate about social change by empowering young people to make a change in both their own lives and the lives of those around them . Objectives The objectives of the project are: to demonstrate adaptations of sporting activities which link to inequality, inclusion and human rights, to discuss the relationship between contemporary sporting issues and inclusion, inequality and human rights, to highlight current sports-based projects and initiatives addressing these issues and to allow a space for participants to design and implement their own sports-based activities related to these issues.Number of Participants/profile There will be a total of 30 participants on this project. The participants will be youth workers, trainers and volunteers who are 18 years of age or above.Description of activitiesThe activities will range from workshops where sporting activities are adapted and used to explore current social issues, workshops which discuss the role sport plays in society and current projects which use sport to explore social/global issues. Additionally, participants will be asked to use their learning to design their own sports-based intervention to address the issues of inequality, inclusion and human rights.Methodology Experiential learning will be very prominent throughout the project. Based on David Kolb’s experiential learning cycle, this approach will provide a holistic and learning experience for participants. Based upon what is known about how adults learn, this is an appropriate approach given the age of our participants.ImpactParticipants will have a strengthened capacity to deliver sports-based activities which examine and explore inequality, inclusion and human rights. Furthermore, participants will improve their critical understanding of the relationship between sports and the issues of inequality, inclusion and human rights.Longer-term benefitsParticipants can pass their knowledge and experience to fellow staff and volunteers to ensure a strengthened and sustainable organisational capacity to deliver sports-based projects. Members of the participant’s target group will have a greater understanding of inclusion, inequality and human rights, and an increased desire to tackle these issues.
