The project partners will achieve this objective by creating a network of 8 ambassadors that will reach young people in events at the local level using the Education Through Sport (E.T.S.) methodology. The ambassadors will constitute a transnational network for sports education against radicalization, strengthening the links between project partners and external stakeholders. In addition, comprehensive research will provide the European state-of-the-art about current practices to prevent radicalization in sport and sports education.
