ISA initiated the project 'Take it to the Street'. The project is about the value and use of street sports to promote the positive engagement of young people in society. The project was initiated on the basis of different underlying dynamics. in Europe, (local) governments struggle with the engagement and integration of young people, especially third country nationals, within their communities. The sports club can serve as an important space to foster the positive engagement and engagement of young people, but evidence shows that the traditional sports club doesn't fit for everybody. A shared belief of ISA and its consortium partners is that street sports can contribute to the engagement and integration of young people within society. This is backed by recent academic research that shows street sports are becoming increasingly popular throughout Europe. A consortium was formed with ISA in the lead and Game Denmark, Game Lebanon, Sport University Cologne and 3x3 UNITES as partners. Game Denmark has 10+ years experience in youth-led street sports for social change. Game Lebanon has specific experience working with high numbers of refugees and third country nationals using street sports. Sport University Cologne is a widely recognised institute doing research on Sport for Development. 3x3 UNITES is a young and innovative organisation that uses 3x3 basketball to promote social change. ISA has the positive engagement of young people at its core and recognises street sports as an important strategy. The aim of the consortium is to develop street sports as an effective strategy to promote the participation, engagement and integration of young people within their communities. More specific, 'Take it to the street' aims to develop curricula, best practices and tools that stimulate the use of street sports to promote positive engagement of youths. The project has resulted in: IO1: A research on the potential value of street sports for developmentIO2: How to guide: designing effective street sports for youth engagement interventionsIO3: How to guide: Implementing effective street sports for youth engagement interventionsIO4: How to guide: Monitoring and evaluating street sports for youth engagement interventionsIO5: A 3x3 basketball for youth engagement and life skills facilitators guideIO6: A 3x3 Basketball for youth engagement and life skills coaches’ manual IO7: A platform on how to design, implement and monitor Street Sports and Youth Engagement interventions The project has led to more insights and knowledge among consortium partners and stakeholders on how to use street sport for youth engagement. It also led to improved programmes and interventions. This contributes to a greater group of youth from multicultural backgrounds who are engaged in street sport activities and thereby increased their overall visibility, participation and sense of belonging within their (new) communities.Two concrete examples: - In Amsterdam, 3x3 leaders are trained on the basis of the developed '3x3 for youth engagement' curriculum - War Child (as one of multiple international organisations) have shown an explicit interest in using street sports within their programmes
