About the project

YouthPlay Europe is a youth exchange about sport as a tool for inclusion, tolerance and respect. It is coordinated by Union Marseille Basket Ball from France, and ArtInspire is one of the five partners, together with organisations from Türkiye, Portugal and Greece.

The seven-day exchange took place in June 2026 at the Funchal Youth Center in Madeira, Portugal, with 30 young people aged 18–25 and five group leaders: six participants and a leader from each country. Every partner led workshops in its own field: basketball for diversity, a fair-play football tournament, civic debates and an intercultural sports festival open to local young people. ArtInspire ran the digital storytelling workshop, where participants made short videos about inclusion and fair play.

The methods are collected in the Inclusive Sport Toolkit for youth workers, schools and sports clubs, and each partner organises a follow-up event at home.

Funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union (Key Action 1, youth exchange).
