Mobilizing youth through sport and technology
Seminar from 14th-19th of June 2011 in Vienna, Austria

Europe’s youth are growing up in a connected world of internet access, mobile phones and electronic interactivity. Sport remains the most effective means for youth engagement and participation. Efficient use of media is the infrastructure for reaching and engaging youth today, where numerous studies from inside and outside of Europe document how young people are using various media sources as outlets to participate, share knowledge and – more generally – engage in societal matters.

The 4-day seminar “Mobilizing Youth through Sports and Technology” in Vienna, Austria will involve 24 European participants. It is designed to develop and share hands-on knowledge on how media can further young people’s participation and active citizenship through Sports. Through workshops, round-tables and the presentations and discussions of tools, the linkages between media (be it of social or more technical nature) and youth engagement and initiative will be explored.

Objectives of the Seminar:
   * To address an experienced need among youth organizations in the sport sector for in-depth discussions and knowledge on the link between youth engagement and electronic media.
   * To explore the concepts of youth participation and e-participation  and current barriers  and opportunities experienced by youth leaders in the sport sector
   * To address these barriers through sharing good practices on using sport and e-participation as a tool for social change
   * To broaden the understanding on various media’s particular engagement potential (e.g. Bebo, Facebook, Twitter and Wordpress) and to analyze  tools which can increase the participation of young people in their communities
   * To facilitate networking between participants and between their organisations for future cooperation on sport for all and cultural activities.
