Latica Mladina’s second Capacity Building session builds upon the activities conducted during the initial meeting with the young players, during which they were encouraged to contemplate the theme of rugby for all. Transitioning from the introductory phase, the subsequent activities aimed to deepen the understanding of inclusivity within the context of sportsmanship.
The first activity, Write on each other’s back: Why do you appreciate your team player – what does she/he bring to the team? facilitated team members in identifying the qualities their teammates most value, both on and off the rugby field. This engaging exercise not only fostered camaraderie but also encouraged introspection among the players.
Following this introspective activity, the teams were divided into small groups, prompting the adolescents to deliberate on which actions should be initiated, continued, or ceased to foster inclusion. These group discussions spurred profound reflections on the concept of inclusion within both the realm of sports and everyday life. Transitioning from individual reflections to collective brainstorming, the boys explored actionable steps toward creating a more inclusive environment within their teams and communities.
The Capacity Building session concluded with the boys composing messages for their teammates; the Italian players addressed the Croatian players, and vice versa. This final activity aimed to strengthen the bond between the two groups, who are scheduled to reunite in Croatia in May. These heartfelt messages not only solidified friendships but also laid the foundation for continued collaboration and mutual support on and off the rugby field.
