Shaping the future of grassroots sport in Europe

Young ambassadors’ actions to support and promote integrity

Many of the actions in the countries involved gave the young participants the chance to be promoters of discussions around values and ethics in sports. Each local group decided to focus on the priorities and topics they evaluated as most important in their contexts, although everyone was supported by the training methodology and contents shared in February’s Training Course, held in Lisbon and hosted by the Portuguese Sport Confederation.

Among the many topics covered through the local activities: discrimination for  geographical reasons, for economical background, sexual orientation, disabilities, gender,  and all kinds of prejudices that impede people to have access to clean, safe, fair and value centred sport.

Workshops, presentations and engaging games have drawn the attention of all generations of people attending, making the number of people reached grow and contributing to enriching the conversations by involving multiple points of view. A big participation, though, has been registered among young people of different age groups, starting from children, to university students.
