This training course had a first pilot version in October 2024. It aims to gather youth workers and sport practitioners who are interested in learning more about sports as a tool for non-formal learning.

Are you a youth worker using sports during your activities with young people? From small sporty activities to more? Do you work as a sports practitioner with young people and want to get more out of it? Then the Sport PRAXIS might be right up your alley!

The Sport PRAXIS training focuses on the framework of Social Sports to go beyond sports as a form of competition. You are invited to explore and practice how sports can be used as a tool for learning and reflection, to identify transferable competencies to other real-life situations, and to use it as a process for individual development, community building and/or societal impact. All of this takes place in non-formal settings with the young people you work with.

A second version of this training course might be run in France in Autumn 2025

National Agencies are looking at working together with a famous sports personality as a keynote speaker, for example in a national promotion day. The famous person would explore links of what sport has meant for them, and what they have done in their sporting and personal lives.
