Changing Our World Through Sport
Changing Our World Through Sport Who we are LITC is a pioneering NGO mobilising the power of sport to empower our local communities. LITC offers international youth projects, volunteering, skills development and apprenticeships in a range of dynamic training qualifications. LITC's Sport for Development projects encourage participation, social inclusion and gender equality. Using sport training, skills and awareness to break down barriers, end conflict and promote human development, we work with young people and organisations that support young people and their wider communities. Get Active Sports Sportivate Sporteducate currently funds LITC's 'Get Active Sports' programme, a three stage programme which uses sport to help young people move into employment or back into education. Each week, young people participate in employability and skills and sports sessions, with the option to attain employability / skillsfocused NCFE accredited qualifications. LITC's Sportivate Get Active mobilises sport, coaching and fun to develop young people's skills, health and increase their participation in sport. Get Active delivers sports sessions, offering a diverse menu of activities, through adapted sports, such as 3x3 basketball, five-a-side football, ultimate frisbee, tennis, athletics and gym sessions.
