Project description
The project “Intercultural Mediation through Sport” is a mobility of youth workers in
the framework of the Erasmus+ program. The main objective of this project is to
provide youth workers working in sports associations and/or working in culturally
mixed areas with a set of tools and instruments such as sports, to encourage
communication and intercultural dialogue among young people in their local
communities.
The specific objectives of this project are the following:
1. To promote communication, socialization and intercultural dialogue through sport.
2. To promote sport as a tool for intercultural learning and integration of young people
with less privileged opportunities.
3. To exchange experiences, good practices and methodological tools related to sport
and interculturality.
4. To create a network of partnerships committed to sport and interculturality in future
projects.
5. To promote the use of the Erasmus+ programme as a tool for the development of
intercultural skills in young people.
Thus, with this project, we want to promote sport as a method of intercultural
dialogue and learning in order to accept diversity in all sectors of society, especially
among young people.
Youth workers will have the opportunity to exchange good practices and methods to
be used in their local, national and international activities and projects for better
quality. They will be able to share intercultural learning with other members of their
organisation or to prepare young people from their local community who wish to
participate in international mobility projects.
The young workers will return to their countries with new knowledge on
interculturality and sport and new skills and tools to improve their daily work with
young people in their organizations.

VENUE
The Training Course will take place in Angoulême, the capital of
the Charente department, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of southwestern France.
Located on a plateau overlooking a meander of the river Charente, the city is
nicknamed the “balcony of the southwest”. The city proper’s population is a little less
than 42,000 but it is the centre of an urban area of 110,000 people extending more
than fifteen kilometres from east to west.
Formerly the capital of Angoumois in the Ancien Régime, Angoulême was a fortified
town for a long time, and was highly coveted due to its position at the centre of many
France Germany Italy Slovenia Sweden Turkey
roads important to communication, so therefore it suffered many sieges. From its
tumultuous past, the city, perched on a rocky spur, inherited a large historical,
religious, and urban heritage which attracts a lot of tourists.
Nowadays, Angoulême is at the centre of an agglomeration, which is one of the most
industrialised regions between Loire and Garonne (the paper industry was established
in the 16th century, a foundry and electromechanical engineering developed more
recently).
It is also a commercial and administrative city with its own university of technology,
and a vibrant cultural life. This life is dominated by the Angoulême International
Comics Festival, the FFA Angoulême Francophone Film Festival and the Musiques
Métisses Festival that contribute substantially to the international renown of the city.
Moreover, Angoulême hosts 40 animation and video game studios that produce half
of France’s animated production. Currently the city is developing filming for both
French television and cinema. Wes Anderson chose Angoulême for his next movie at
the end of 2018.
Angoulême is called “Ville de l’Image” which means literally “City of the Image”.The
commune has been awarded four flowers by the National Council of Towns and
Villages in Bloom in the Competition of cities and villages in Bloom.
