Inclusion Through Sports

The project was organised at Janoshalma Hungary, between the 30 of October – 6th of November with 27 participants, from 6 different countries Hungary, Greece, Italy, Czechia, Portugal, Serbia.

During the training course, participants got to know the methodology of Education Through Sport through practise and theory, therefore they got a practical “toolbox” in the topic of using sport as an educational tool for inclusion.

Through a group activity, where participants designed together educational sport games in the topic of inclusion for local youth, they developed their competencies in the field of designing educational programmes, cooperating successfully in teams, facilitating learning and communicating meaningfully with others while designing, testing and facilitating the games for local youth at Déli ASZC Jánoshalma School.

During the project we also organised an international halloween party, a candle light yoga and relaxation for the 1st of November and we also explored the local area through a horse carriage ride. At Budapest we visited the Hall of Parkour Hungary, where participants got to know how parkour can promote inclusion.

Let’s see what the participants of the Greek Team told us about their experience in the project:

During 30/10 and 06/11 of 2024, we had the opportunity to participate in an Erasmus+ training course focused on Inclusion Through Sport in Jánoshalma, Hungary. This experience offered valuable workshops and hands-on sessions where we explored how sports can promote inclusion and serve as a powerful educational tool. we developed skills in designing inclusive sports activities, facilitating teamwork, and creating welcoming environments for all. Besides that, the program brought us in contact with many interesting participants from various backgrounds, each adding new perspectives.

A huge thank you to the Greek organisation Eupragia Non Profit Civil Organization as well as the Hungarian Organisation Hungarian Parkour Association and facilitators for making this opportunity possible and supporting us in every step of the way.This program was both inspiring and practical, and we are excited to apply these insights in my own community.
