Kabaddi & Social Inclusion
This is done by using the popularity
of Kabaddi as a
means of diverting young people from self-destructive
and anti-social behaviour and thus providing
opportunities for young people to engage in positive
activities, focussing on participation, social
and
personal development and enjoyment rather than
purely
on Kabaddi skill or ability.
Tackling
youth disaffection, increasing the skills and
confidence of adult volunteers and building community
relations are at the heart our work: A method
seen by
The Cabinet PAT 8 report, as good practice on
preventing anti-social behaviour and promoting
inclusion.
Embedding
local control one of the major benefits of
participating in cultural or sporting activity
is the
opportunity to build local organisational skills
and
capacity. Community-based sports and arts projects
can be managed centrally, but they will tend to
have
less impact and be less sustainable, as well as
finding it
harder to secure people’s commitment. A
model, which
offers control by those who are involved, albeit
in
partnership with funding agencies, local authorities
and
other stakeholders, is likely to have much deeper
impact on those involved and the wider community.
