The partnership has developed the idea of this project, based on their previous experience in the youth and sports field and the needs that were expressed from the youngsters they work with, as well as other youth organizations. In particular, these organizations spotted a gap between sports activities and youth work in their local communities, as well as at the national level, an issue that wanted to tackle with the production of informative and easy-to-use guidelines
-Synergies between European organizations that are active in the field of sports or/and youth;-Exchange of operational information, good practices, practical know-how, and experience on the prevention of social exclusion and marginalization of youngsters with fewer opportunities, through sports activities;-Creation of new tools containing activities and guidelines based on non-formal education and sports;-Promotion of the European Week of Sport and #BeActive movement through local activities.
The activities of the project were based on the development of the organisations within and outside of the partnership, with the exchange of good practices, creation of useful outputs, as well as easy to use by youth and sports organisations, young people, and the general public. The implementation of the activities went smoothly with no delays, despite the situation with COVID. The project got an extension of 3 months in order to implement all the activities and events properly.
– Creation of 2 outputs: “Sports Management Manual for Youth Organisations” and “Toolkit
– Activities of Non-Formal Education based on Sports for youngsters and youth workers”, available on the website of the project and partners’ website;
– Strengthen the combination of youth work and sports activities;
– Establish sustainable partnerships, as well as the development of an informal network of youth and sports organisations.

The Manual aims to be an introduction to youth workers, staff members of youth organizations, and community leaders and other organizations about the management of sports event and activities at a grassroots level for implementing youth activities. The Manual is around 40 pages, friendly, using a simple approach and easily adaptable in different environments and target groups.
The Toolkit contains non-formal sports activities which aim in the group building of volunteers, members of youth organizations, as well as other groups of young people – it is an effective and practical approach to the inclusion of sports activities in the everyday youth work. It is designed as such to be used for social inclusion and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
We created the Facebook page “Wall-E: Break the wall” in which we kept publishing about the project or other material such as articles concerning sports.
