Toolkit “Creativity and innovation – adapting sport methods for inclusion and interaction of different abilities’ youngsters through youth (sport) work”

This Toolkit “Creativity and innovation – adapting sport methods for inclusion and interaction of different abilities’ youngsters through youth (sport) work” is innovative resource for youth workers and sport trainers to coach, educate, support and mentor both, mainstream youngsters and youth with disabilities, for inclusion and interaction in their community.

Project partners have the experience with using art, dance and other creative methodology when developing youth (sport) work activities for their target group, as well as they have already explored using sport methodology in youth (sport) work for inclusion of immigrants, and have the needed expertise and staff for developing this toolkit.

However, Non-Formal Education (NFE) educators and youth workers working with disabled target groups often have little or no experience in using sport as an educational tool. Many do not know how to maximise the potential of sport as a method within the regular youth work. Despite the fact that sport activities can be considered one of the most valuable NFE experiences for children and youngsters.

The toolkit is comprised of 2 parts. First, more general, part covers concepts and recommendations related to the needs of target groups (different abilities’ youngsters) and recommendations for further adapting sport disciplines/ methods and/or NFE methods with including sport methodology in regular youth work activities.

The second part us set of sport methods/games and workshops and respective education support materials for organising youth/sport work for inclusion of youngsters with disabilities.
