Communities and Crisis – Inclusive Development through Sport

More about Communities and Crisis – Inclusive Development through Sport

“Communities and Crisis” provides participants with unique insights into the use of sport and physical activity for inclusive community building, particularly in areas recently affected by crises. These crises include natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods or tornadoes, as well as man-made crises like civil wars and vulnerable communities.

Sport, play and physical activity are integral parts to the community rebuilding process. Careful design and implementation of these programmes under consideration of cultural diversity, gender and inclusion of all age groups is critical to ensuring positive development and avoid potentially harmful psychological effects.

Through this programme participants learn to use sport as positive means of physiological and psychological rehabilitation, both through practical, hands-on workshops as well as through theoretical learning sessions. It emphasizes the importance of cultural sensitivity and the implementation of appropriate monitoring and evaluation techniques.
