Target Groups & Inclusion
Our commitment to reaching diverse audiences and ensuring inclusive participation.
👥 Who Will Participate?
The festival is designed for adolescents aged 13–17, combining sports with STEM learning opportunities.
🌟 Primary Focus Groups
We specifically prioritise:
- 👧 Girls – Gender-based challenges in both sports and STEM performance
- 🌍 Socio-Economically Disadvantaged Youth – Lower access to health and learning opportunities
📌 Participation Goal: 60% girls + 60% disadvantaged youth (±5%) in all activities
💡 Why Inclusion?
Because research shows:
- 📉 Youth physical activity declines with age
- 🧪 Gaps exist in science & math achievement
- 🚫 Vulnerable groups face more barriers
Our project helps close these gaps by connecting movement with learning.
🤝 A Supportive Festival Environment
Throughout the event, every participant will have access to:
- 🔬 STEM-based sport stands
- 🏅 Coaches and youth leaders encouraging inclusion
- 🆘 Help, registration and first-aid desks
➡ Everyone can play, learn, discover and feel included!
🏫 Beyond the Festival
Collaboration with teachers and trainers, parents and local sport organisations ensures that the positive impact continues after the event.
