Document Summary
Sport-for-development (sfd: activities that include sport as a way of tackling concerns related to individual, community, national, and international development. Sport-for-development and peace (sdp: similar to sfd, but the goals and concerns include fostering peace and reconciliation among traditionally hostile groups. Sport-plus approach: sports plus theater arts events, lectures, cross-cultural events, etc. Plus-sport approach: primary focus is on developing individuals or the community; sports are used as a draw. Although many people view sport as a visible tool for development, the results have been mixed: various benefits, on the other hand, there are also shortcomings. Sdp programs have the potential to create positive outcomes at multiple levels of analysis. These include: for individuals: improvements in health and well-being, sport skills, life skills, and social capital, for groups: reduction in intergroup anxiety and prejudice, resulting in improved intergroup relations, for communities: facilitation of community capacity. Individual level: improved physical health, technical skills, and life skills; enhance social capital.
