Project description
The project pursues the following specific objectives:
- Promoting social inclusion and participation of vulnerable young people and other local community members by using orienteering as a multi-goal activity;
- Enhancing sport trainers’, and Civil Society Organisations’ workers abilities to foster social inclusion at local level by using orienteering as a grassroot sport able to encourage participation and ownership of shared values;
- Raising awareness among local communities, stakeholders and policy-makers of the value of sport as a tool for inclusion in order to foster solidarity and participation as well as cohesion and inclusion policies.
The action will encourage social inclusion in and through sport in 6 countries (Italy, Bulgaria, Austria, Greece, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Cyprus), by developing innovative outputs and resources, transferable to different countries and contexts.
These outputs will include:
- a collection of inspiring good practices, tools and methodologies using orienteering for social inclusion;
- the ORIENT curriculum based on identified good practices;
- a toolbox for orienteering routes;
- the ORIENT compendium “Routes to inclusion”;
- the ORIENT Manifesto (lessons learned, policy recommendations).
