Summary
The objectives of this project are to:
- promote community integration of children and young people affected by humanitarian crisis such as war in the hosting communities;
- improve mental well-being and help overcoming trauma of such children and young people through sport;
- facilitate adaptation and create bonds with the hosting communities;
- inspire other sport clubs to set up support programmes by publishing and promoting experiences and good practices.
Detailed Call Description
This pilot project will focus on encouraging community integration of children and youth affected by humanitarian crisis and mass migration processes in the context of war. By improving their mental well-being by attending sport sessions, these individuals will eventually become ready to adjust to their new environment. Sport activities, with their power of bringing people together, will help interaction with the host community; facilitate integration into the education system and the labour market.
To achieve the best results those activities should be organised at the local, grassroots level, mainly through grassroots sports clubs, involving only one country, as it is easier to respond to integration needs by implementing activities at the local level.
Activities, games and sports must be designed in order to meet specific social and psychosocial goals. They need to be age appropriate, culturally appropriate and be considered in respect to the gender roles in the community. Building on the existing physical capacities of participants, experienced coaches will help them feel comfortable by encouraging those performing skills that they already possess. Therefore, cooperation between grassroots sports clubs and centres that could offer social, psychological or pedagogical support would be important and required. This project would also involve, mainly as facilitators, sport federations.
