Project Pump It is an ongoing initiative launched by the Malta Street Sport Alliance (MSSA) in collaboration with Move Malta, aiming to redefine youth engagement in civic affairs through the power of street sports.
Objectives:
- Promote eco-friendly practices and sustainability among Maltese youth.
- Enhance youth health and well-being by integrating street sports with environmental education.
- Foster inclusivity, cooperation, and social connection through informal street sport activities.
Description and Implementation: The project includes a series of roadshows featuring discussions and workshops that promote street sports and creative activities. These workshops emphasise eco-friendly practices and environmental awareness, educating participants on sustainability topics. Interactive sessions provide hands-on activities, such as DIY recycling projects, to engage attendees in sustainable practices.
Impact and Results: By integrating environmental education with street sports, Project Pump It aims to cultivate a generation of environmentally conscious youth. The initiative seeks to reduce inactivity and mental health concerns among young people, while promoting sustainability and eco-friendly practices. The project’s inclusive environments foster diversity, dialogue, and social cohesion, contributing to a more sustainable and connected community.
Conclusion and Recommendations: Project Pump It presents a promising framework for promoting sustainability and environmental awareness through street sports. To maximise its impact, it is recommended to:
- Strengthen collaborations with local schools, sports clubs, and environmental organisations to broaden outreach.
- Secure funding and resources to support the implementation of workshops and educational programs.
- Develop culturally relevant educational materials that resonate with youth.
- Involve a variety of street sports to attract diverse participants and expand the scope of activities.
