In the context of increasing social internationalisation, sport and exercise are becoming more and more important as a factor of integration. On the other hand, sport-related approaches in German Development Cooperation are becoming increasingly important. The book focuses on the contribution of sport as a learning field for intercultural competences and outlines development policy approaches from the perspective of various German actors such as sports associations and non-governmental organisations.
Three central questions are discussed: How can sport and exercise support integrative social processes? What contribution can sport and exercise make as a learning field for intercultural (global) competences? What conditions must be met for sport and physical activity to be effective in development policy?
