The European Youth Engaging in Solidarity and Sport (EYESS) intends to encourage social inclusion, tackle discrimination and intolerance through sport by transferring the good practice of Mondiali Antirazzisti in a new partnership between civil society and the academic environment of the following countries: Greece, Hungary, Austria, Italy, and Denmark.

In this framework, the project will:

​

• Enable key organizations to replicate Mondiali Antirazzisti’s model and methodology in their local areas involving academic environments;

• Raise awareness among local institutional stakeholders and local civil society about sport as a tool for social inclusion and the potentialities of the local replications to this purpose

• Foster increased participation of migrants and local young people in sports activities and create a constructive dialogue between different social groups

• Train operators, youth workers, and similar profiles to a better awareness-raising activity and proper skills to use sport as a pedagogical tool to foster social inclusion of “vulnerable” target groups

• Develop a “bridge” between the world of high-level education and non-profit organizations that are dedicated to volunteering and the inclusion of disadvantaged people through the engagement of its members as its institutions

• Promote the exchange of good practices and networking between subjects who in various capacities contribute to generate and disseminate a policy of sport and social living that responds to the principles of non-discrimination, social inclusion, and individual commitment with respect to the problems and needs of the community.

 

The project is Co-funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union.
