At a European level, the need to use sport for the social inclusion of migrants is seen as a priority: "By bringing together people, building communities and fighting xenophobia and racism, sport has the potential to make the major move towards real integration of migrants within the EU".

The Youth Sport Development Ambassadors (YSDA) project aims to pay close attention to this group of young people in the seven partner countries through youth-driven events based on volunteering. Micro projects will be implemented in each country, which will be united by the following common themes: involvement, project management, participants' satisfaction, and new opportunities for participants. The projects will be implemented by 4 young people in each country who will be young ambassadors of sports development and will implement projects aimed at young people of their age who have a greater need for socialization in our society.
