Erasmus+ has supported Sport4Understanding with 98 000 Euro for our upcoming Youth Exchange with Frøya Basketball in Bergen, Godella Basketball in Valencia Spain and Promitheas Basketball in Greece. All toghter 60 young kids and mentors will be able to join a youth exchange in Greece in october 2023 and to Bergen in april 2024.
Our goal is to increase the participants' own self-awareness and understanding of the world around them. They will be more confident in themselves, better at basketball and better as people and thus also more inclusive, less racist and open to other people.
They will take the effect of this into their local clubs and, in a systematic
and planned way, help the club to create a more inclusive club with good values
and attitudes. Through their role as good basketball players, the participants
and mentors are also role models in the respective clubs, some are also coaches
for younger teams. Their attitudes will be carried on within the clubs and will
also affect the clubs locally.
Erasmus+ supports Sport4Understanding with 72 000 euro to our Coach Developing project together with the Norwegian Basketball Federation and ULM Basketball club in Germany.
Our goal is to build tomorrow's coaches in the involved organizations and raise awareness and develop interpersonal competence using the youth workers' current basketball skills. The coaches will use their coaching platforms to create an impact on the lives of the young people they coach – on and off the court – on the whole human. Together we will build the whole human with a new kind of «coach power».
The impact of the 1,5 yearlong project will lead to a change in coaches focus by developing young athletes through the development of critical and essential life skills.
The kickoff will be in Norway September 7th. 2023
