The project World Cup Volunteers 2015 takes place during Mondiali Antirazzisti (Antiracist World Cup) from 24/06/15 to 09/07/15 in Castelfranco Emillia. This non-competitive sports championship was created in 1997 to fight racial and gender discrimination, promoting the values of sport and multiculturalism. The 19th anniversary will involve 40 young volunteers coming from France, Spain, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Poland and Portugal. The 60% of these volunteers comes from groups at risk of social inclusion, notably the 2 identified in the 2012 EU Youth Report Young people not in employment, education or training (NEETs) and Migrants and ethnic minorities.The main aim of the project, in line with the overall objectives of the renewed framework for European cooperation in the youth field (2010-2018), is to promote active citizenship, social inclusion and solidarity by involving the volunteers in the organization and management of Mondiali Antirazzisti and by promoting volunteering among youths and stakeholders. The project will “emphasize the value of peer-to-peer education in promoting healthy lifestyles” [COM (2012) 495] as well as highlight the values of anti-discrimination and intercultural dialogue. Besides the voluntary activities, the project includes two conferences on raising awareness on volunteering and its recognition and a strong task related preparation and support.Through the project activities the volunteers engage in voluntary activities and increase their motivation for taking part in future voluntary activities abroad; undergo a socio-personal development, increase self-empowerment and self-esteem and their sense of initiative; develop tolerance and enhance their inter-cultural awareness; develop healthier lifestyles; develop a more positive attitude towards the European projects and EU values.The project contributes to the promotion and recognition of volunteering through dissemination activities and conferences.The event is organized by UISP (Italian Sports for all Union), the largest Italian sport association counting 1.300.000 members.
