SPORTS JOBS
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Sports form part of daily lives, for some people it is hobby, for others it is a profession and for some it is a desire. Our projects aims to look at sports from the perspective of employment, allowing young people to take the sports that they love and turn them into jobs allowing them to enjoy the sports of their choice and at the same time create a job. BY allowing people to create jobs in the fields of sports we will also increase the involvement of people in sports by providing more opportunities for people in the field of participation in sports. Our objective is to allow young people to learn from each other and learn how they can take grassroots sports activities and turn them into jobs. This will allow young people to find employment in smaller communities and fill the needs of these communities. The main issues covered by this project are youth unemployment and participation of young people in sports. We hope to bridge these two problems and find solutions for the problems we find in each community in the fields of employment and participation in sports. In order to achieve these goals the activities foreseen for the project are vital. Very importantly we will need to establish a trust between the participants so that they can openly discuss the issues and problems in each of their communities. These discussions will give the youth more confidence, especially when seeing that youth from other countries are facing the same problems. Open debates will allow the youth to express their personal viewpoints of different matters and to justify them through discussions. This will also allow for others to gain knowledge based on the experiences of others. Workshops will be designed to maintain a European dimension as all groups will be made up of at least one person from each country allowing for cultural learning during the workshops. Workshop are designed around the various subjects allowing the different youth to discuss the issues and work together to solve problems and share experiences. Role playing will also be used to allow the participants to get another perspective of different problems. This has proven to be very successful as it allows for the youth to see common problems from the viewer’s point of view rather than the actor. This also allows for innovative ways of showing problems. Simulations are also done during the project, allowing people to take on roles which are often opposite to their real roles. During the simulations the participants will take on roles to re-enact a real situation based on events and problems in the real world. The participants will work together in their different roles to solve problems and to find solutions to these problems. Important here is that the participants take on random roles which add additional learning tools as they need to think and act as the person they are simulating.
