Sport for Development (S4D) Youth Leaders – Giving Back to the Community
The GIZ S4D - Jordan Youth Leadership Programme empowers motivated young people of diverse backgrounds to initiate sport and play activities for fellow youth and children within their communities. The aim is to increase civic engagement of youth in ‘Sport for Development’ to promote social change in targeted communities. Over the last three years, 37 youth leaders from six different areas in Jordan have joined the programme and have acquired the necessary knowledge and skills to deal with kids and youth following the safeguarding policy and to develop and implement activity plans that meet local needs.
‘How sport promotes development’ – Workshop discussion at the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development
The ‘Werkstattgespräch’ (workshop discussion) took place in virtual format on the evening of 6 June 2021. Workshop discussions are a fixed event format of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The aim of the series of events is an open exchange on changing topics in order to create space for input, discussion and suggestions for the further development of the topic area – this time under the headline of ‘Daring more sustainability - How sport promotes development’.
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.
