Description

This YouSport Mini Study Visit is an opportunity for relevant grassroot youth workers and sports officers from Germany, Finland, Ireland, Italy, and Malta working in the youth and/or sport sector(s) to gather.

The focus of this YouSport Mini Study Visit is to promote social inclusion through social sports projects. It will introduce local sports and youth social work initiatives and programmes which address different target groups and use a variety of methods, approaches, and funding models to foster social inclusion. Furthermore, it will highlight how collaborative and cross-sectorial approaches on the local and regional level can further enhance quality knowledge-transfer, and social impact.

The main aim of the activity is to provide organisations with the space to share, to learn from each other, to create potential projects under the Erasmus+ (Youth and Sports) Programmes and to build partnerships for future projects.
