Summary of Sport for Social Change
Sport for Social Change refers to the intentional use of sport, physical activity and play to attain specific development and peace objectives, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Its aims can be sporting (e.g., implementation of athletic values, participation and orientation to sport) or non-sporting (e.g., promoting citizenship values, strengthening collective responsibility, advancing inclusion).
SSC initiatives frequently address gender-related issues, education, reduction of social isolation, empowerment of participants and health-related topics.
Objectives can be understood at three levels of impact: individual (personal development), societal (inclusive communities) and worldwide (intercultural and interfaith understanding). Benefits include wellbeing gains, barrier reduction and contributions to peace-building. However, initiatives should set realistic expectations and follow a clear strategy to avoid unintended consequences.
