Towards ‘youth boards’ in nonprofit sport organisations: a youth focused citizen social science for inclusive sport services: YOUTHMOVE
The project YOUTHMOVE aims to create a youth board model that enables young people to act as agents in nonprofit sport organisations (local clubs and federations) and to promote culturally diverse sport services. From a multidisciplinary perspective, the project empowers youth agency through citizen social science, using both conventional and digital methods (e.g. digital storytelling and crowdsourcing). It will analyse young people’s participation and non-participation in sport organisations at both personal and societal levels and test a youth board model that includes them directly in decision-making processes. In this way, the project will support more inclusive and culturally diverse sport environments that bring young people into sport organisations.
