Working with athletes means much more than just developing sport talents. The National Secretariat of Sport, which reports to the Presidency of the Republic of Paraguay, in cooperation with the Sports for Development Sector Program, offered tools to strengthen social capital and citizen coexistence through sports.

The practice of sports is an opportunity to build ties of respect and solidarity, promote discipline and compliance with rules, encourage healthy sports competition and the responsible exercise of citizenship, among others.

The training and consolidation processes of the "Sports with Principles" strategy allow for replication at the national level, including the provision of resources, implementation of educational and sportive activities, and the promotion of community actions.

In Paraguay, the workshops for leaders, teachers and coaches focused on violence prevention and conflict resolution. The learning process was developed based on the experience of Paraguay's Secretariat of Sport and its local partners.

The documents developed in Colombia were adapted to the context and use in Paraguay.

We invite you to have a look at the following teaching and learning material, which was created by the German Development Cooperation (GIZ) on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and our partner organizations in Paraguay. You will find a more detailed description about the materials in our collection S4D Tools for your Practice/Teaching and Learning Materials.
