Promoting Unity through Sport for Homeless
Sport is a source and engine of social inclusion and an excellent tool for the integration of individuals who are at risk of social exclusion. Sports aims at fighting against intolerance and discrimination.
The Project
The PUSH project aims at promoting equal opportunity and social inclusion through sport for homeless people and all those living situations of social hardship by expanding the expertise of entities dealing with them and social workers following them. After a first phase of research of good practices and knowledge exchange at EU level, the consortium will define a set of guidelines to allow social workers and sports trainers in collaborating and creating sports programs for homeless people. The guidelines will be tested in the partners’ countries and then disseminated among other entities of the third sector, policymakers and all relevant services and stakeholders – in order to reinclude marginalised people in social life and foster social cohesion.
