International Sports Alliance (ISA)

ISA trains coaches and youth to discover and hone their talents. Where actions speak louder than words, a transformation is made on the sports field and beyond. On the sports field, young people acquire essential skills such as creativity, teamwork, communication, talent, character and a good dose of self-confidence. The skills that young people score on the sports field can be used to make a difference at home and in their communities. The power of sport is seen as these young people become game changers. Young people are presented with opportunities to take up new roles and put their newly acquired skills in action. Then, togetherness and energy will emerge as one. We take this as a starting point from where the greatest-ever young generation will step forward, let their voice be heard and make sure they are involved in decisions that impact their future. That is the kind of society where young people can engage; they will present themselves as resources ready to be developed, instead of problems to be solved. ISA has regional offices in West Africa, East Africa, and Europe and is also active in the Middle East. In Europe, the main areas of focus are gender equality through sports, youth leadership and using sports to foster the inclusion of youth with a migration background.
