Personal developmentContext
In many African countries, including Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire, children grow up with limited access to structured physical activity, health education and safe, inclusive spaces. State schools, particularly in rural, peri-urban and fragile areas, often lack regular programmes promoting well-being, disease prevention and equal opportunities for girls and boys.
At the same time, a significant number of young people face serious challenges in accessing decent employment, especially those no longer in the education system and not already working or being trained for work. This increases vulnerability to social exclusion, irregular migration and long-term poverty. In Libya and other areas affected by instability or natural disasters, children are even more exposed to psychosocial and educational risks.
In these circumstances, sport represents a powerful lever to promote health, inclusion, resilience and community cohesion. Génération Sportive uses sport as a structured educational tool, strengthening local teams by means of a ‘train the trainers’ model and using a ‘solidarity caravan’ to reach the most remote and fragile areas.
Project goals
- Promote healthy and active lifestyles among children through regular sport and well-being education
- Foster inclusive, safe and gender-equal school environments
- Strengthen local capacities by training sports and health activity leaders to serve as community changemakers
- Support the professional integration of young adults through the recruitment and certification of 31 activity leaders
- Extend access to sport and educational activities to remote and fragile areas through a mobile ‘solidarity caravan’
- Build sustainable partnerships with ministries, schools and local associations to ensure long-term impact and ownership
Project content
The project is implemented through a set of complementary and structured activities:
- Weekly sports-health sessions in 31 schools, ensuring that each child participates in at least one guided physical activity a week
- Daily well-being support provided by activity leaders, focusing on hygiene, nutrition, emotional health and positive behaviour
- Inclusive and mixed-gender sports activities promoting equal participation of girls and boys and challenging stereotypes
- A ‘train the trainers’ system that trains, certifies and supports 31 sports and health activity leaders to become local community leaders
- Cascading of training so that the activity leaders can transfer their skills to more than 600 youngsters and other members of the local community
- A solidarity sports caravan that takes sport, education and awareness activities to rural, remote and crisis-affected areas
