Expected number of participants : 24 participants from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales
Main activities / programme of the Workshop:
The aim of A common Wealth is to bring young people and youth workers together to demonstrate how sports programmes can bring about conflict resolution, promote inclusion and encourage cross-community working. We will use the Commonwealth values of Humanity, Equality and Destiny as a theme for the programme, capitalising on the multitude of sports skills, knowledge, ideas and initiative that participants bring to the training, and exploiting these to create a shared wealth (or common wealth). We will promote healthy lifestyles, through outdoor activities and grassroots sport, to foster social inclusion and the active participation of young people.
