<< Objectives >>Sport has proven to be an essential instrument in the provision of positive development paths, harnessing the accumulation of important life skills, which as a result could act as a driver of youth empowerment and resilience to negative influences such as delinquency, violence and radical ideas. Research studies have further connected the role of sports with the establishment and adherence to positive adult role models, in return diminishing acute risk factors related to crime and extremism. In other words, the advocacy and implementation of sports initiatives could lay the groundwork for prevention of youth radicalization campaigns, especially when combined with other social initiatives, such as media literacy classes, vocational trainings, integration courses, etc. Therefore, this project plans on addressing the current threat of youth radicalization with violent extremist believes, through promoting sport as a tool for increasing and reinforcing positive social thinking and behaviour. The aim of the project is the cross-cultural cooperation and exchange of best practices between young individuals (main target group) - through the implementation of sport initiatives and tools necessary to effectively tackle the indoctrination of young people and promote acceptance of diversity in society.<< Implementation >>The Youth Exchange is dedicated to young people between 18 and 25, whether they are students, volunteers, young workers or interested in how sport can be used as tool to prevent radicalization. 6 different nationalities ( Hungary, Turkey, Jordan, Spain, The Republic of North Macedonia) will be involved and each country will involve participants with following fewer opportunities: migrants/refugees, stigmatized and marginalized youth, participants who are facing cultural challenges and participants with economic and social obstacles.we will set up activities, based on non-formal education, with the intention to improve the participants’ self-esteem, self-confidence, language skills and knowledge in this topic. The activities will be workshops, sessions, debates, teamwork in small and bigger groups, roleplay and physical activities such as energizers and football, among othersWe invited participants with following fewer opportunities: migrants/refugees, stigmatized and marginalized youth, participants who are facing cultural challenges and participants with economic and social obstacles<< Results >>The aim with the topic of the activity is to give the participants tools they can use to prevent radicalization in their local communities. More specifically, how sport can help preventing radicalization.Judging on how extensive and global the radicalization phenomenon is, the successful implementation of the project would undeniably have a significant impact on various societal levels. The skills and knowledge the participants and their organisations accumulate throughout this youth exchange would be applied in a wide-ranging manner within their respective countries of origin. The individuals will experience the positive impact of being acquainted with potentially unfamiliar until then information and knowledge. They will acquire an understanding about concepts and theories related to extremist indoctrination and radicalisation and learn effective strategies of preventing such manifestations of radical views to take place through interactive activities and sport initiatives.
