Youth Exchange SSS 'Sport for Social Support''

Content/History:
Today, it is very important for social peace that young people could grow up freely in a healthy environment. Being deprived of the opportunities that allow youths to have access to their basic needs prevents them form developing themselves and leads them to lose connection with the society. This concept, called social exclusion, has become a major problem today.

A research of EU- SILC (European Union Income and Living Conditions Statistics ) revealed that ratio of the excluded individuals due to being socially and economically handicapped is 24.5% and proportion of young people most affected by this situation has emerged as 27.6% . Based on this information we can clearly say that the concept called “social exclusion” has become a significant problem that needs to be solved by social structure . Those young people couldn’t have opportunities because of social and economic reasons. Therefore our project aims to integrate them to the community by sport activities.

The aims of this Project:
1-To help young people with disadvantages gain confidence and to get them socialized
2-To help young people gain self-esteem by sport activities.
3- To reveal of impact of sport on youths
4- To contribute to recognition of different cultures
5- To introduce young people to different types of sports and increase their interest in sports.
6- To help youths become sociable and confident individuals.
7- To bring young people who are into sport but couldn’t reach it by social and economic reasons, in society and to ensure social equality.

The number of participants and participant profile :
There will be 6 countries and 30 participants in total. Individuals will be in the range 18-25 of age. At least two of the participants of our Project will be socially and economically handicapped. This is the most important priority for our project. Another priority is at least three participants in our project will have no previous project experience.
