Teamwork, respect, responsibility, health – the positive effects of sport

Sport and physical activity promote physical, mental and emotional development and social inclusion. It reinforces values and behaviours such as fairness, respect, team spirit and discipline. Particularly for girls and marginalised groups, sport breaks down barriers and contributes to integration and positive social change, especially in disadvantaged areas.
