Context
The European Erasmus+ Sport project ‘Keep Youngsters Involved in Sport’ aims to find answers to the question: ‘How can we prevent youngsters (12-19 years old) from dropping out of sport?’. In many European countries, we see that a lot of youngsters give up sport due to a lack of motivation, problems with school schedule or different interests. The project targets youngsters in general and specifically those from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

Together with seven different European sports organisations, the Knowledge Centre for Sport has worked on the project over the last two years. During this final conference, we are going to present the outcomes of the project which are applicable at different sports clubs all over Europe.
