Reflections from 20 Years in SDP
The document discusses the Center for Sport, Peace, and Society's (CSP) 4-E Model of Empowerment for international sports development programs. The model aims to expose local participants to new resources and connections, equip them with leadership skills to address community issues, engage them through service learning and reflection, and ultimately entrust them to carry out their own visions for change. Using this model over 20 years, CSP has created culturally sensitive programs with high implementation rates that mobilize local volunteers and engage communities.
