Free training on offer for StreetGames' Safer Together Through Sport Week A new series of free training courses aim to help community organisations to use sport as a way to keep young people out of trouble and help make communities safer. StreetGames are hosting a week of training for project managers and front line delivery staff for organisations who are either already using the power of community sport to reduce youth crime & youth violence, or for organisations who want to work more in this space. The power of sport if used appropriately can offer an alternative means of excitement and risk taking to that gained through engaging in offending behaviour. Another advantage of using the power of sport is the access to an increasing alternative social network and wide range of positive social role models. Sport, in its role as a positive activity, is well placed to take a universal, preventative role in reducing and preventing youth violence. Positive activities are considered as having a useful role for developing young people’s resilience and enhancing protective factors (HM Government’s Serious Violence Strategy, 2018). Doorstep Sport can offer: Supervised activity Fun and variety Pro-social friendships especially for girls Activities for normative peer activities Positive adult role models Support for protective factors such as a safe place, routine activities, setting boundaries, building resilience, a sense of belonging, and a pro-social identity Book your place today! These workshops are FREE to StreetGames network members, all we ask is that you register for the workshops you would like to attend so we can allocate you the certificates at the end of the week.
