Access to Sport - Personal developmentContext
While child protection in Romania has improved considerably over the past two decades, many children in Bucharest remain socially excluded. These include children from ethnic minorities, those living with their families in informal settlements or on the streets, many of whom have fallen into addiction, and children living in institutions with limited opportunities for integration.
Project goals
- Foster the social and educational integration of children and young people living in institutions, on the streets or in squalid conditions through participation in sport
- Provide children and young people with opportunities to increase their self-confidence, meet other young people, prevent violence, learn how to live together and develop their potential
Project content
- Street patrols providing direct care and emergency aid to families and children living in informal settlements or on the streets in Bucharest
- Collaboration with public and private reception centres to reach children living in institutions in at least two Bucharest districts
- Sports training and competitions designed to motivate young people and help them develop life skills as well as respect for rules and other people
