BARN: Idrott. Nr 3, 2012

This edition of Save the Children Sweden’s quarterly magazine ‘Barn’ investigates how children experience sports. Are sports a source of joy? Or are they an arena for bullying, disappointed parents, psychological abuse, or prevented from participation?

Read about how Save the Children works to combat discrimination and abuse in sports. Interviews with children around the world illustrate how they wish sports to be: everyone can participate, parents and coaches encourage environments of good sportsmanship and emphasize fun instead of defeating the opponent. Adults have the responsibility not to forget the child’s perspective, their motives and needs when training.
