Sport 4 Resilience

Project description:

Through the joint efforts of the project partners PLAY International Kosovo, TAKT and REGSPO, the three-year initiative should have a lasting impact in Kosovo, North Macedonia and Montenegro. This program aims to strengthen the resilience and psychosocial skills of children and youth through active, innovative and inclusive methods and the promotion of common values and social cohesion. Sport 4 Resilience is a project whose first 36-month phase is being implemented in Kosovo, Northern Macedonia and Montenegro. Led by PLAY International, with the support of TAKT and REGSPO, the project uses sport play as a lever for education and awareness raising to empower youth in the Western Balkans to create more inclusive and resilient societies in the face of the societal risks that affect them. Based on a diverse ecosystem and innovative and adapted pedagogical approaches, the project has two main axes. A first strand, in formal education, focuses on building children’s (8-12 year olds) life skills and resilience to discrimination based on gender and minority status; while supporting national educational priorities. A second strand, in non-formal education, focuses more on civil society and young people (15-24 years) to build their resilience to the risks of radicalisation and discrimination.
