The Youth Sport Trust, in partnership with Team England and local delivery partners, set out to engage schools and young people to encourage a local identity and sense of belonging across Birmingham. This focused on what people have in common, building understanding and mutual trust, changing perceptions, attitudes and behaviours, integration, inclusion and interaction, and ensuring participating children and young people, teachers, and families had fun trying different sporting and cultural activity.

We aimed to drive significant positive change on the longer-term integration of schools and communities across the city, in turn resulting in a legacy of learning, participation, connection, and pride.
