Sport COnnects against Radicalisation in Europe

Sport COnnects against Radicalisation in Europe project’s overall objective is to contribute to the enhancement of resilience of youth at risk of radicalisation and violent extremism through sport. The project will be led by 4 partners from France and Western Balkans with complementary expertise and experience (sport and sport for development organisations, non-formal education, and radicalisation experts): PLAY International (PLAY) (France), Regional Sport Initiative – Playing Together (REGSPO) (Montenegro), Together Advancing Common Trust (TAKT) (North Macedonia), and Democracy through Sport (DEMSPORT) (Kosovo). The project promotes sport as a tool for tackling the issue of radicalisation. It does so by identifying the common features of radicalisation among European youth and the psycho-social skills that require strengthening in order to gain more resilience to radicalisation. Building on this process, the consortium and its partners will develop an innovative sports-based educational content. The purpose of this content is to build capacities of consortium partners and empower educators working with youth at risk of radicalisation, thus building resilience and develops psycho-social skills of youth at risk of radicalisation, and showcases and disseminates the methodology of use of sport for development on regional and European level. At the end of the project, the organisations and their trainers will increase their understanding of radicalisation factors, educators will be equipped with the necessary skills and tools to deliver impactful socio-sport sessions, 600 youth will develop personal and interpersonal skills which will increase their resilience to the radicalisation and regional and European sport and stakeholders invested in counter-radicalisation will be aware and recognise the potential of sport as a tool to tackle radicalisation. that is published through this page expresses the views of the project beneficiaries only and it does not represent the views of the European Union or the European Commission.
