Sport for Development and Peace Youth Advocacy Toolkit
The purpose of this toolkit is to provide young people with the skills and tools to become advocates of SDP, and enhance their ability to create awareness and influence decision-making.
By highlighting different approaches, case studies and examples of best practice, this toolkit will help young people identify challenges in their own communities, and use the information and resources provided to develop advocacy strategies that exemplify how SDP can address these challenges. The advice and resources provided in this toolkit have been developed through the experience and expertise of the CYSDP and are only recommendations on advocating forSDP. There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. We understand that this toolkit alone may not be sufficient in delivering an advocacy strategy, but it will provide the young person with the ability to:
understand and explain advocacy
outline examples of different types of advocacy
