Seminar: "Sport It Out Vol. 4" in Republic of North Macedonia

Seminar: "Sport It Out Vol. 4"
7-15 October 2023 | Popova Shapka, Republic of North Macedonia

Drawing on years of experience in the youth field, the project team has identified a critical need to enhance the quality and impact of youth work for young people with fewer opportunities by improving the competencies of youth workers in using sport and outdoor learning tools and methodologies. These competencies are applicable not only in the educational field but also in projects and direct work with young people. Youth workers use many tools, such as sports-based games, outreach programs, and outdoor pursuits, which are based on experiential learning processes. However, the importance of this process is often overlooked, and many young people miss out on potential learning opportunities.

The project targets youth workers who are dedicated to working with young people with fewer opportunities in their local reality, have basic knowledge of facilitating sport and outdoor-based learning processes, and have a desire to apply their newly gained competencies in developing new sport education tools that increase the social inclusion of young people with fewer opportunities.
