Social inclusion is one of the most important goals a youth project aims to achieve. Social inclusion means to strength the society itself, giving to everyone the possibility to make their voice heard through a series of means, ranging from political, cultural or social engagement. That is why integration itself represents an added value for the whole society, by creating a community where everyone can give his own contribution to strength prosperity and democratic values. By building a responsible community through an horizontal process of cooperation, is then easier to avoid social marginalization and all problems connected, namely poverty, racism and violence. In this sense, sport activities perfectly suit with this aim. Sport holds an important place in the lives of many EU citizens, and plays a strong societal role with a powerful potential for social inclusion in and through sport, meaning that participation in sport or physical activity in many different ways contributes to inclusion into society. Throughout its values of respect and tolerance, and by the participation to relevant international projects, USMA promotes sport as a way to integrate people. In this sense, the project CORPLAY, in which USMA is partner, wants to study and test how basic sports associations can contribute to the integration of second-generation immigrants into society. The scope of the project is to enhance the role of sport in preventing youth radicalization, by developing a sports grassroots innovative approach to tackle intolerance, xenophobia and discrimination leading to extremism, while increasing youth participation in sport.
