Welcome to the Sport for Development (S4D) Resource Toolkit!
This toolkit is a gateway to S4D. You will find information, guidelines, manuals, seminars, tools and advice on how to implement S4D projects, workshops and training sessions. The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) uses S4D to contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) like gender equality, good health and quality education. The Toolkit provides access to resources that have been developed and used by GIZ and partners in different countries all over the world.

Citius, altius, fortius – communis: Using ‘Sport for Development’ to achieve social cohesion
In a joint virtual event, GIZ and DOSB highlighted the role of sport in development cooperation with a special focus on social cohesion. The Covid-19 pandemic has clearly demonstrated how the lack of educational opportunities, violent conflicts and lack of health care especially affects the situation of children and youth around the world. It is precisely in this situation that innovative approaches to solving societal challenges are needed. In this context, sport, with its inspiring power, has a special role to play: it creates better future prospects for children and young people and strengthens social cohesion.
Future Leaders in Football work towards socially responsible leadership
It was kick-off time for 22 Future Leaders in Football on Monday, 7th June starting the 5-day virtual leadership course as part of GIZ’s Sport for Development activites. In the context of the EURO 2020 to be held from 11th June – 11th July 2021 in 12 of Europe’s most iconic places the idea was to bring together the Future Leaders in Football and develop together the tools and knowledge to become changemakers in their organisations and communities.
New Guidelines available!
Reflection makes the difference between a Sport for Development (S4D) session and a regular sport session. Without reflection, there will be neither a connection nor a transfer of competences to daily life situations and, therefore, there will be no impact. The Reflection Guideline for S4D Training Sessions helps you to understand the importance of reflection for competence and life skill development as well as for recollecting of what was learned during the session.
