Details:
“Education Though Sport” is a Training Course (TC) that will deal with the importance of the Sport as an educational tool for promoting social inclusion. MVNGO is the applicant organization and will held the TC in Morocco. The overall aim of the project is to transfer innovative methodologies of non formal education from European to Southern Mediterranean countries creating an important educational path in between South and North of the Mediterranean sea. Morocco seemed to all the partners the best place in which implement the project since it represents a perfect melting pot of EU and arabic cultures. According to the analysis made by the partners, in the Southern Mediterranean countries there is an huge educational lack: sport is not considered as a non formal education method. Regarding to this specific educational need, carry out with this project means share new tools strengheting our cooperation.
Learning objectives of the TC are:
• To raise knowledge and gain new experiences on Sport and outdoor activities as tools of recognition of non formal learning;
• To clarify the challenges of Sport as a tool for education regarding to content and methodology, non formal and informal learning process, intercultural learning and impact on local community;
• To create a network of professionals (youth leaders, social workers and Trainer)s who work with people with fewer opportunities using those new methodologies and ready to develop new E+ projects raising awareness on personal, social and professional development during the work activity.
The working method proposed by the Trainers will start from a wider point of view, macro areas such as values, education and intercultural dialogue through Sport, to the specific activities such as tools and methods to be held during the daily working life in every NGOs or youth centers when you can make the difference for building a civic society (bottom-up process). Sport has an educational dimension and plays a social, cultural and recreational role. The main topic of this project is to use “sports as a way of improving active citizenship activities, cultural exchange and social inclusion of young people”. Organizers and Trainers want to underline the importance of Sport in informal, non formal and formal educational context. Usually, during a Sport activity, people could learn a lot of things (rules, fair play ecc) even if they are embedded in a informal context. To play a game means to use an universal language which follow rules and try to work hard in order to reach the aim: to win the competition with the others and/or yourself.
The Trainers will lead sessions based on spreading new methods about Sport as a tool for inclusion of people with fewer opportunities: young with disabilities, migrants, persons discriminated by gender and people from rural area. Actually, Sport is useful for breaking stereotypes (facilitating the process of integration of immigrants in the society), promoting mutual understanding and intercultural dialogue (use Sport as an universal language) and facilitating the process of social inclusion. Therefore its values are fundamental in the third sector’s working processes, where it can be used in order to prevent the sense of intolerance, social exclusion and marginalization. One of the most important area in which we can successfully use Sport is in relation to the disability. Sport is a fighter against racism and xenophobia and it is an helper for including people with special needs.
The TC will follow the non formal education approach: a combination of different creative and interactive methods will be used by the Trainers team and adapted upon the profile of participants.
