Sport for Sustainable Development
The Sport for Sustainable Development kicked off with the creation of the “Score All17“ toolkit and organisation of domestic activities.
May 2022
2022 was a busy year for the project team. Dakar, Senegal, hosted the international #Sport4SD youth exchange.
From 9-15 May 2022, young people from Europe and Japan travelled to Dakar, Senegal, to meet, debate and exchange knowledge on sport for sustainable development with their peers.The National Olympic Committee of Senegal was the host of the first international activity of the Sport4SD project. Youth exchange gathered youth leaders, trainers, coaches and NGO staff from three continents (Europe, Asia and Africa) and led them through a number of interrelated educational activities in order to develop their skills on how sport can be used as a tool for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs).
September 2022
Young leaders from three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa, gathered in Tokyo to learn, explore and contribute to the sustainable development goals using sport as a tool.
The training course in Japan, organised within the framework of the Erasmus+ funded “Sport for Sustainable Development” project, was hosted by the Kokushikan University and held in Tokyo, Japan, on 8-14 September 2022.
A team of participants stayed longer for the Job Shadowing activity which took place from 8 September to 2 October 2022.
Activities ranged from Score All17 manual presentation, team building and workshops on sustainability to visiting the Olympic site and crafting sustainability strategies for the Tokyo and Paris Olympic Games, and Lillehammer and Dakar Youth Olympic Games.
November 2022
It was a long but empowering journey that took us on a global mission, from Europe to Senegal and Japan, to advocate, educate and promote the powerful role sport and youth play in achieving sustainable development goals.
The Sport for Sustainable Development conference was held on 28 November 2022, in Paris, France, hosted by the French National Olympic and Sports Committee. It was followed by the partners meeting which was organised the day after, on 29 November 2022.
