YOUTH CREATES POWERFUL OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH
by GAME
Playmakers are not only trained as street sports instructors but also as civil society agents through an empowerment approach. In 2022 the Playmakers in Jordan participated in the design of the DAPP program, ‘Youth Inclusion & Empowerment’ (YIIP), starting in Jordan and Tunisia in 2023, to increase opportunities for youth in the region. Involving the Playmakers in the design of the program secures sustainability and inclusive physical activities in the program.
