Sport PRAXIS

The Sport PRAXIS focuses on the framework of Social Sports to go beyond sports as a form of competition. You are invited to explore and practice how sports can be used as a tool for learning and reflection, to identify transferable competencies to other real-life situations, and to use it as a process for individual development, community building and/or societal impact. All of this takes place in non-formal settings with the young people you work with.

Are you a youth worker using sports during your activities with young people? From small sporty activities to more? Do you work as a sports practitioner with young people and want to get more out of it? Then the Sport PRAXIS might be right up your alley!
