Preventing youth crime and violence through sport — the documentary
Sport has great potential to empower youth and help them find the right path in life! Don't you agree? The #LineUpLiveUp global initiative on youth crime prevention — launched under the UNODC Global Programme for the Implementation of the Doha Declaration — uses sport to empower young people from marginalized communities and help them develop essential life skills that increase adaptive and positive behaviour addressing vulnerabilities that are linked to violence, crime and drug use. Involving local communities and working through youth and sport centres as well as schools, the youth crime prevention initiative actively engages youth as ambassadors for safe and healthy lifestyles and embeds sport and physical activity within the social fabric of groups and local communities.
