Basket for Change (B4C) aims at increasing the capacity of the three international partners to exchange good practices, confront ideas and methods on the approaches and strategies to encourage social inclusion and promote equal opportunities of disadvantaged people through sport (namely basketball).

The project is targeting poorer EU citizens and immigrants (first and second generation) which represent today the groups that mostly risk social exclusion due to the economic crisis and the high migration flows toward Europe. The lack of adequate and effective integration measures can result in violent social conflict. Sport can play a relevant role in avoiding social exclusion of those disadvantaged people.

During the project three main international events will be organised: a meeting focused on training basketball coaches on methodologies to include disadvantaged people through basketball, a seminar to discuss integration methodologies and exchange experiences, a tournament to facilitate the networking among young disadvantaged athletes.
