How to raise a life champion – conclusions and recommendations

Many find human rights education in/through sport extremely challenging, but Development Center for Youth breaks those stereotypes. In order to bring the concept of creating life champions (and not only the sports ones) closer to everyone, we introduce you to the conclusions and recommendations, a document that will remain a lasting legacy for all those for whom sport and education are inseparable segments.

The ultimate goal of our work is to restore the educational role of sport, which was forgotten due to its commercialization, and thus influence the improvement of the society as a whole. That is why we selflessly share our knowledge with everyone, especially with coaches who work with younger categories.

Each of our processes is based on two-way communication, so the document in front of you is the result of extensive consultations with participants, both through a recent online consultative meeting and through analyzes of implemented activities and information from the field. Also, these conclusions and recommendations can serve as guidelines for further action of stakeholders in this area.

Document is one of the results of the project “Aranđelovac – the city of life champions” which is implemented by Development Center for Youth from October 2021 to January 2022 with the financial support of the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe.
