SKILLS FOR YOU(TH)

THROUGH SPORT

SK4YS – Skills for You(th) through Sport – is a transnational

initiative of European sport, youth organisations and educational

institutions whose aim is to raise awareness of soft skills

and competencies learnt through sport and to implement

them through sport-based employment programmes.

The two-year awareness-raising

initiative, which targets young

people from disadvantaged

backgrounds and those not in

employment or training, focuses

on a cross-sector approach of

sport, youth, employment and

education policies.

The project, which started in

2019 and ended in December

2020, looked to empower

sport, youth and educational

institutions by developing

and delivering sport-based

employability programmes

for young people through the

collection, classification and

promotion of European good

practices, made available through

an educational handbook.

The SK4YS partner met online

multiple times throughout

2020, and finalised the online

publication of the educational

handbook on August 31.

An online dissemination

workshop was organised on

October 8, with the aim of

introducing the SK4YS project

and manual to interested

participants and sharing several

good practise organisations

analysed in the project, as the

link between skills development

and sport was discussed.

The project was coordinated

by the youth section of the

European Non-Governmental

Sport Organisation - ENGSO

Youth, partnering with European

Observatoire of Sport and

Employment (EOSE), the Cyprus

Youth Council and the European

University Sports Association

through its EUSA Institute, as

well as Oltalom Sport Association

and the Budapest Association for

International Sports (BAIS).
