Play Makers Project is a exchange project designed to promote diversity, intercultural exchange and tolerance amongst young people involved in sports in Västerås as well as the clubs which they are members of. The project aims to introduce young people from Sweden to new cultures and new methods of interaction using sport as a platform. Through dialogue, practical activities and informal l learning the project aims to combat racism, gender exclusion and tolerance for others. Play Maker Project implements innovative methods of informal learning which use physical exercises to lift important issues and aid the learning experience. Play Makers Project aims to give participants the chance to explore the differing levels of social tolerance throughout Europe and in turn increases their own tolerance toward others. We also want to encourage participants to play a greater role in their own community and the European community through building connections with other young people in Europe and sharing experiences. Our objective is to give young people in Västerås and South East London the chance to explore other cultures, embrace their own and and become more understanding toward others. We want to develop unity and encourage tolerance amongst our young people, promote multiculturalism in Sweden, diversity and reject discrimination.
