Abstract
The literature demonstrates that children and young people in conflict with the law have not had the opportunities to develop many of the social and emotional competencies taken for granted for other children. Sport and physical activity have a long history of being beneficial for the personal development of young people (Bailey, 2006; Côté, et al., 2016; Morgan, et al., 2020) and the Active Games for Change (AG4C) Erasmus project over 3 years developed and implemented an innovative framework of active games aimed to develop a range of social and emotional competencies in our target population with ten partners in seven countries across Europe. This paper presents the rationale linked to our state-of-the-art analysis (Shafi, et al., 2019) which identifies the benefits of using sport and active games as a tool for personal development. It then outlines the development of the tools (active games) and pedagogical framework that sits beneath the delivery. The teaching approaches within AG4C are based on several well researched pedagogical approaches; Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (Hellison, 2010), Positive Youth Development (Lerner, 2004) and Adventure Based Learning (Sutherland, et al., 2016). These approaches have been shown to have a positive impact on personal growth of young people in a range of settings. The project has been tested by partners with the project team, completing the full programme with 321 young people in custodial settings across seven countries in Europe. Quantitative and qualitative results demonstrate a clear positive impact on the social and emotional competencies of your target populations and these will be further explored within the presentation
