Engaging young people from faith communities in PE and sport out of school hours
The guide has been produced as part of a pilot project undertaken by the Youth Sport Trust in partnership with ContinYou and Sporting Equals. The project aimed to encourage school sport partnerships and supplementary schools to work together, and to target and engage young people from ethnic minority and faith communities in physically active out-of-school-hours learning (oshl) activities.
Religious and faith commitments can influence the everyday lives of many pupils and their families. It is, therefore, important that mainstream educators and sport providers understand, and are able to respond positively to, the needs and concerns of children, young people and families from different faith communities when providing school sport and out-of-school-hours learning (oshl) activities.
Engaging young people from faith communities in PE and sport out of school hours provides an overview of the six most common religions in Great Britain. It outlines challenges that may arise when providing PE and sport activities, and suggests positive ways in which mainstream sport providers, co-ordinators of oshl activities, and all those working across the school sport network, can address these issues positively.
