1. Focus the attention of a large number of young people on the issues of juvenile delinquency and marginalization
• The use of the survey of students’ attitudes towards problems related to marginality and deviance and of the survey survey of young people’s attitudes towards sports practice, both available online, has made it possible to focus the attention of a large number of young people on the issues addressed by the project and at the same time provided a very accurate picture of their views on these issues.
• The bottom-up approach with the students, in particular the involvement of the same class groups in both seminars and sports activities, has ensured that the students have been able to address the topics concerning marginality and deviance, in the form of an internal debate of the class. The possibility of rediscovering the same positive and negative attitudes expressed by students even on the field and being able to experience the results in relationships with others with a view to the success or failure of one’s team has led to a change in the system of relationships within the classes involved . Some students complained of feeling excluded or misunderstood, others of the impossibility of maintaining relationships with some classmates. In general, within the classes involved, a greater sensitivity and ability to investigate the small or large inconveniences of others was established.

2. Creation of a network for the promotion of multiple sporting events in the territorial areas involved
• The project has facilitated collaboration between sports associations, schools, institutions and third sector associations by creating a promotion network for multiple sports events dedicated to the citizens of the territorial areas involved.
• This network will continue to collaborate after the end of the project.

3. Creation of a new standard of interaction between families, educators and experts on youth sport issues
• The questionnaires can be repeated in the immediate future at fixed time intervals, allowing in an extremely sustainable way to cyclically bring attention back to the main themes of the project, evaluate changes in the attitude of young people and develop new prevention or awareness initiatives.
• In Latvia the seminars represented an interesting new tool for interaction with students and parents. Until now they were a tool dedicated only to experts and trainers. This will decisively help the participation of families in the sports and school education of young people.

4. Increase the involvement of young people and their families in sports activities.
• The fact of carrying out the sports activities envisaged by the project involving schools and relying on sports facilities in the reference area has made it possible to spread attention to national and European sports initiatives such as EWOS or National days against bullying and violence even outside the large city centers. Already starting next year in the province of Arezzo – Italy for example, many more schools will organize initiatives for both anniversaries.
• Some sporting activities promoted within the project, such as the system of tournaments between schools, have proved to be interesting and sustainable both economically and educationally, and for this reason they will be proposed again in the future.
• In Greece parents showed a great interest in the seminar activities and expressed the wish to repeat such actions more often. The European Week of Sport events which took place in the municipal park, enjoyed a great response from students and teachers as it was something new and at the same time great fun for all. Sport in nature, combined with the appearance of professional players, was the recipe for success. In general terms, the Municipality of Katerini has benefited enormously from the Erasmus+ project. The opportunity to join students in extracurricular activities has created a very happy atmosphere with an expectation from students and teachers that such actions will be repeated in the future.

5. Greater focus on national and European sports initiatives such as EWOS or National Days against Bullying and Violence
• Schools were asked to celebrate the national days against bullying and violence with a game of volleyball or other sport after the end of the project as a good way to remember how sport can help young people fight marginalization and deviance. The number of schools taking part in these events has increased thanks to the project.

6. Increased interaction between sports associations and civil society
• The project activities aimed at promoting interaction between schools and sports associations have launched a series of collaborations between motor education teachers and athletes, in particular representatives of Paralympic sports, these will be easily re-proposed in the future within the already foreseen school initiatives aimed at sports practice.
• In Italy, the promotion of sports-themed training events dedicated to the educational community have created a new standard of interaction between families, educators and experts on youth sports issues.
• In Slovenia, the impact of the projects will mainly be seen on young people who are facing their own challenges. Kids with happy, easy lives weren’t affected that much, which is logical. Some schools are already implementing dropout workshops in their school system, which is the best possible impact a project can have. 2 volleyball clubs will continue with workshops and have included psychologists in their regular performance evaluation of the boys. Some parents were obviously very enthusiastic about the seminars and even asked if we could organize them outside the project, individually for them and their children.

7. Good practices obtained
The project has provided its main good example in the concept of bottom-up approach in the prevention and fight against marginality and deviance that has been adopted. The idea of working on a large scale to give young people the basic tools to offer listening and help to peers who are facing problems of marginalization and deviance, not only has a sustainable and lasting impact, but creates interest and participation in young people making them feel like an active component of the chain and makes the search for an effective language to spread awareness much easier.

Italy
• The synergy of school, sport and third sector associations within an institutional context has made it possible to bring on a large scale a type of participatory planning that until now was relegated to small experimental initiatives with limited impact.
• It is important to consider the fact that all the schools and all the sports associations in the area were involved in the project presentation phase and in the subsequent investigation phase through online questionnaires and even if they did not actively participate in the subsequent phases, they will benefit from the results of research and will be able to make use of this experience for their future initiatives.

Slovenia
• In addition to representing an effective and innovative element for teaching children recognition and sensitivity towards youth discomfort, the project has brought out with renewed strength the example of the sports environment and the relationships that exist within it as “safe place” to allow young people to face their discomfort without suffering attacks or disqualifications.
• Sports have also proved to be an excellent means of integrating young refugee children who, even though they barely speak Slovenian, can play volleyball regardless of all “differences” and are treated in the same way as other children.
• The inclusion of the local sitting volleyball team in the volleyball club was very welcome, this sport was presented as a tool to overcome the different differences. Mixing players with physical limitations and physically fit people is a great move to reduce margins. And once again volleyball is their “safe place”

Greece
• A very important impact is the repeated mass gathering of students from different schools, which doesn’t happen very often in our city and indeed for an extracurricular activity where the main theme is sport. This has proved to be a great joy for the students, who seem to need such activities.
• A very significant fact is that all the teachers who participated in the activities, both as students’ companions and in the seminar that concerned them, had the following characteristics:
1. very active and willing to engage in extracurricular activities
2. excellent understanding and communication with students
3. willingness to participate in similar actions in the near future
4. they thought such actions were extremely beneficial for student progress

Latvia
• The seminar activities represented something new for our students and their parents, they allowed them to talk about the problems we have today and that we have to face every day. They have become part of the toolbox available to experts as a means of creating participation around the issues of youth discomfort. They talked about the problems that we have today and which we have to face every day. The seminars were the best part of this project.
