Social inclusion is a multidimensional issue and promotion is complex and must be analyzed by several prisms. Project focuses on the problem of social exclusion and the need to enhance the inclusive behavior through youth and physical/sport activity. Goes through the confrontation of its resolution through the contribution of youth and of physical/sport activity, acting directly on the youth sector.
Through the training of youth workers in intervention for social inclusion among the young, it is possible to act preventively on a "disease" that after installed can become incurable. In this sense, it is necessary the training of youth workers to the social intervention to a comprehensive level, as a preventive factor and a resolution of one of the most serious problems of the current society: social exclusion.
