Summary

The NextGen Sport Camp project aims to strengthen the role of young people as promoters of social inclusion and multiculturalism through sport, with a particular focus on grassroots sport camps.

The initiative seeks to consolidate the international network of youth workers and sport camp leaders that has developed over the years through international exchanges, by developing knowledge and skills on how to design and implement inclusive and multicultural sport activities for adolescents.

At the heart of the project is the creation of the NextGen Sport Camp Leaders Academy — a structured training pathway that gathers partners’ good practices and responds to the training needs of youth workers.

Through international workshops, online training modules, practical activities and experimental sport camps, the project will involve young leaders (16–25 years old) and adolescents (14–19 years old), promoting values of inclusion, active participation, intercultural dialogue, and European citizenship. Activities will be accompanied by dissemination events and conferences at both national and European levels, engaging stakeholders from the sport and youth sectors.

Objectives

• Strengthen the international network of young sport camp leaders capable of promoting social inclusion and multiculturalism through grassroots sport activities.
• Design and develop a common training toolkit (NextGen Academy) based on partners’ good practices and youth workers’ training needs.
• Enhance the skills and knowledge of youth workers in designing and managing inclusive and multicultural sport camps.
• Promote active youth participation and non-formal education through sport.
• Raise awareness among local, national, and European stakeholders of the educational and social role of international sport camps.

Sintesi

Il progetto NextGen Sport Camp mira a rafforzare il ruolo dei giovani come promotori di inclusione sociale e multiculturalismo attraverso lo sport, con particolare riferimento ai contesti dei camp sportivi di base (grassroots sport camps).

L’iniziativa intende consolidare la rete internazionale di giovani youth workers e sport camp leaders che si è sviluppata negli anni attraverso gli scambi internazionali, attraverso lo sviluppo di conoscenze e competenze su come progettare e realizzare attività sportive inclusive e multiculturali rivolte agli adolescenti.

Al centro del progetto vi è la creazione della NextGen Sport Camp Leaders Academy, un percorso formativo strutturato che raccoglie le buone pratiche dei partner e risponde ai bisogni formativi dei youth workers.

Attraverso workshop internazionali, moduli formativi online, attività pratiche e camp sportivi sperimentali, il progetto coinvolgerà giovani leader (16–25 anni) e adolescenti (14–19 anni), promuovendo valori di inclusione, partecipazione attiva, dialogo interculturale e cittadinanza europea. Le attività saranno accompagnate da eventi di disseminazione e conferenze a livello nazionale ed europeo, coinvolgendo stakeholder del settore sportivo e giovanile.

Obiettivi

• Rafforzare la rete internazionale di giovani sport camp leaders capaci di promuovere inclusione sociale e multiculturalismo attraverso attività sportive di base.
• Progettare e sviluppare un toolkit formativo comune (NextGen Academy) basato sulle buone pratiche dei partner e sui bisogni formativi degli youth workers.
• Rafforzare competenze e conoscenze dei youth workers nella progettazione e gestione di sport camp inclusivi e multiculturali.
• Promuovere la partecipazione attiva dei giovani e l’educazione non formale attraverso lo sport.
• Sensibilizzare stakeholder locali, nazionali ed europei sul ruolo educativo e sociale dei camp sportivi internazionali.
