Abstract
Sport Against Violence and Exclusion (SAVE), a project cofounded by the Erasmus + Program of the European Union, seeks to prevent violent and socially exclusive behaviors through physical activity. The current editorial shows a range of possible interpretations of these two phenomena from both a psychological and sociological point of view, offering helpful methods to coaches who train children (ages 6 to 12)in grass-root sport clubs. Following a thorough analysis, partners from seven EU countries (Lithuania, Italy, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Austria, and Spain) will be able to identify skills and techniques for coaches to ensure inclusive training methods as well as to provide them with effective conflict resolution tools. Furthermore, both trainers and parents will have access to an online platform with useful information regarding these issues.
Highlights
Since the project will involve individuals across numerous nations, each with its own cultural context of knowledge, social norms, and life habits, it will be necessary to conduct a desk analysis and at least seven focus groups per country
It is possible to contextualize social exclusion referring to social identity theory [6], in which a part of an individual’s self-esteem is linked to their membership in a group
According to social development theory [8], children learn how to give sense to the world by play. They adapt their behaviors in relation to the social norms that are valid in a specific social setting and develop a moral conscience through their interactions with significant adults
