📢 Work Package 2: Adaptation Framework – Sport Academy Methodology (SAM) 🇦🇱

The Albanian Sport Science Association (ASSA), in close collaboration with People in Focus, has successfully completed the evaluation phase in Albania under Work Package 2 (WP2).

This phase focused on assessing and adapting SAM modules to Albania’s context, with input from a wide range of organizations:

🏟️ Local sports clubs

🏅 National federations & governing bodies

🏫 Schools & educational institutions

🤝 Sports-for-development NGOs

🔎 Using international evaluation criteria, this process identified the most relevant, feasible, and impactful modules to strengthen social inclusion, education, and sport development in Albania.

💡 The outcome will guide the selection of three priority SAM modules tailored to local needs, ensuring long-term sustainability and community benefit.

The USSI project (Project no. 101183224) is funded by the European Union and aims to promote social inclusion, education, and community development through sport.

Key elements:

🥋 Uses Sport Academy Methodology (SAM) as a flexible framework.

🎯 Focuses on building values like respect, cooperation, and discipline through sports such as judo, team games, gymnastics, and athletics.

👨‍👩‍👧 Involves not only children but also families and communities, creating long-term engagement in sport.

📚 Modules cover areas like inclusion of vulnerable groups, physical activity for all ages, life skills, and health promotion.

🌐 Implemented across several countries, including Albania, Kosovo, and Montenegro, with each selecting the most relevant 3 modules for their context.
