The research project deals with the issue of integration in the younger generations and its relationship with sporting practice, entering the recent debate on the role of sport as a means of integration and fight against social exclusion at European and national level and on the need to initiate interventions in our country to encourage coexistence between young Italian and foreign citizens. The study makes use of a survey conducted among students and teachers and deals with the issues of participation in sports by young people and the sharing of the founding values ​​of sport among students, as well as other aspects relating to relationships between peers in the school and extracurricular. During the 2016-2017 school year, the survey was carried out on a sample of lower secondary schools, while in the 2017-2018 school year it will involve a sample of upper secondary schools.
The project is part of the program agreement for the promotion of integration policies through sport of the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies and CONI.
