SportyMentor aims to use mentoring and sport as tools to stimulate change in young people with challenging behaviour with a youth-centered methodology.

This project is co-financed by Erasmus+.

Officially launched in March 2022, the European project SportyMentor aims to use mentoring and sport as tools to stimulate change in young people with challenging behaviours. At the root of the project, the partners identified the need to increase the social inclusion of disadvantaged youth through a strategic combination of mentoring

, sport and technology. Our proposal is therefore to use mentoring and sport as tools to stimulate cognitive, behavioural and emotional changes in young people with challenging behaviour. Afeji Hauts-de-France (based in Lille, France) is the leader of this project. POUR LA SOLIDARITE - PLS (Based in Brussels, Belgium) is the moderator of this page.

[🇪🇺🤸‍♀️SPORTYMENTOR PROJECT] – Mentoring Pilot in Belgium 🇧🇪

🤜🤛 SportyMentor is much more than just mentoring !

🌿 The partnership developped an eco-citizenship toolkit as a resource to help the mentors have productive and effective mentoring sessions with their young mentees. It suggests many different sporting and environmental activities that can be used ‘out of the box’ so to speak.

🎯 ... Because we're convinced that this type of meeting and group activity boosts motivation, opens up new avenues and strengthens social ties !
