Human Rights Through Sport Manual

ENGSO Youth, youth-led European-level organization at the nexus of sport and young people, had the privilege to organize a one year long programme: Back to basics: Human rights & Sport, which was supported by the Council of Europe through the European Youth Foundation. The main idea of the programme was to support youth and sport organizations as well as sport and youth workers in developing competences to act as a multiplier for human rights and human rights education through sports in their realities. More than 100 young leaders working within and/or with the youth & sport sector from more than 30 countries were introduced to a theoretical context around Sports’ contribution to promote, ensure and advocate for Human Rights. With the inspiration of discussions, exchange and their own expertise, participants of the Human Rights Education workshop series lead by ENGSO Youth created a toolkit, which is to be found in the following pages. Fun, but meaningful non-formal education physical activities and exercises with the common goal to highlight the power of sports as a tool to promote Human Rights.
