Sport and culture have always been recognised as a major factor in the development of human knowledge, understanding and values, and hence along with citizenship and human rights, as a necessary substratum for a fulfilling life. Both activities contain an inherently relevant dimension for the whole of society, representing one of the core arenas for our schools to address educational goals.

In order to further investigate this theme and therefore to contribute to a more inclusive and fair development of European societies by impacting on younger generations, VALUE SCOUT identified and analysed recognised good practices, initiatives of excellence and innovative examples on the role of sports and cultural practices for value building (e.g. respect, tolerance, solidarity, collaboration, fairness, social integration, etc) in formal contexts (i.e. schools) and in non-formal and informal settings (e.g. sport clubs, theatres, associations, etc) and elaborated a set of future scenarios, related indicators and policy recommendations focused on the educative and socialising dimensions of sport and culture.
