These participants are all members of the global S4D community, demonstrating the course's international reach and its ability to connect individuals passionate about using sports for positive societal change.
  2. Positive Feedback: Participants have shared positive feedback about the course, praising its comprehensive content, interactive learning experience, and relevance in advancing the S4D cause globally.

This initiative, is a two-year collaboration between CRISP and GIZ, aims to enhance the skills and knowledge of the global S4D community.

Youth empowerment remains a central theme, connecting these courses to broader S4D training initiatives within a comprehensive conceptual framework.
