More about Safe Cities “ Sports Component”
We use sports as a tool in our trainings to help youth have healthy characters and acquire a positive value system that will indirectly develop youth sense of belonging to community and will make them adopt the case of preventing violence and harassment in their areas. We accompany the youth in a long transformation journey by involving them in experiential learning training using sports. In other words Aspire uses sports as a tool to create communities of practice with new value systems.
We empower intervention NGOs to help us create the communities of practice by starting small volunteering units. The units use sports beside other activities as a tool of reaching their communities through many outreaches addressed to different categories and target groups. We also create sports curriculum that tackle the idea of violence through sports so we can change mindsets of different categories (men – kids – women –girls).
