Personal developmentContext
In Albania, 83% of school children report the unethical behaviour by school staff, including insults, sarcasm and derogatory nicknames. Although there have been considerable changes in child protection law in the past few years, there are still significant issues. Every other disabled child experiences discrimination during play with peers.
Project goals
Help to ensure safeguarding, equity and inclusion in sport for all Albanian children by providing them a safe space to practise sport, be active and develop to their full potential.
Project content
Save the Children will provide tools to improve ways of working and positive models for the inclusion of disabled children. This intervention will enable best practices from previous projects to be embedded in targeted activities on child safeguarding in sport using UEFA modules on safer play for 212 coaches. Six unified sports clubs will be set up based on children’s feedback to include children with disabilities in various sports. A total of 31,454 children will promote safer play and inclusion in sport.
