GAME EMPOWERMENT MODEL

The goal of making a lasting social change goes through the empowerment of youth and in GAME this is obtained, among other things, through the GAME Empowerment Method, which empowers youth by enhancing their life skills through street sports and culture.

The GAME Empowerment Method and its Life Skills are the fundamentals behind working with all the GAME volunteers around the world.

Three Levels Of Life Skills

Life skills refer to the skills needed to effectively deal with the changes, challenges and opportunities of daily life.

The GAME Empowerment Method works with three levels:

Individual Life Skills Level

At the individual level, youth develop personal skills such as decision-making, goal-setting, and stress-management.

Group Life Skills Level

At the group level, youth learn to work effectively in teams, communicate clearly, and resolve conflicts.

Community Level

And at the community level, they gain the skills and confidence to engage in collective action and create positive change in their communities.

At the community level, the GAME Empowerment Method also supports youth in joining the global effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals, set by the United Nations, aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure equity for all.

I GAME, youth are encouraged to identify and address issues relevant to their communities that align with the SDGs. They are empowered to take action through community projects and advocacy efforts, with the ultimate goal of creating positive change in their communities and contributing to the achievement of selected SDGs.

By engaging youth in the SDGs, the GAME Empowerment Method helps to create a sense of global citizenship and solidarity. Youth are inspired to see themselves as part of a larger movement for positive change, and to take a leadership role in building a more sustainable and just world.
