VALUE SCOUT performed an extensive and systematic analysis of a significant number of Practice Case Studies on the role of sports and cultural practices for value building in formal curricular contexts (i.e. schools) as well as in non-formal and informal extra-curricular settings (e.g. sport clubs, theatres, associations, etc).

The analysis was based on the Integrated Methdology and the two dedicated instruments for data collection and analysis i.e. the Pre-Case Studies Identification Grid and the In-depth Case Studies Analysis Grid developed at the beginning of and validated throughout the life cycle of VALUE SCOUT. For more information see the section on Outputs & Results.

VALUE SCOUT first collected and analysed  150 Good Practice Case Studies  (the so called pre-case studies) providing an initial screening of the field of sports and culture and their contribution to value building. In a second step detailed selection criteria (i.e. geography; field i.e. sport, culture or combination; area i.e. extra-, intra-curricular or combination; age; problems/needs addressed; values addressed) were defined in order to extract the final good practice cases from the larger pool of pre-case studies based on coverage criteria. The in-depth data collection and analysis process was build upon a multi-angular and multi-dimensional approach:

• Step 1: A desk research based content and report analysis;
• Step 2: Interviews (e.g. face-to-face; focus groups; telephone) with key stakeholders (i.e. programme or case managers);
• Step 3: Observation and study visits of the actual learning in practice.

The following 16 In-depth Case Studies have been selected and analysed. Their ‘Case Study Identity Cards’ can be obtained by clicking on the case of interest:

1.  M-Camps(Estonia)
2.  Sport Adventure around the Globe (Finland)
3.  Sámi Children’s Cultural Centre (Finland)
4.  Artisport (France)
5.  École Ouverte (France)
6.  Erbarancio (Italy)
7.  Educare allo Sport (Italy)
8. Edu Rugby (Romania)
9.  Club del Buen Deportista (Spain)
10.  MUS-E (Spain)
11.  School with Focus on Physical Sports Education (Germany)
12.  Girls’ Strength (Germany)
13.  BANNET (International)
14.  Ancient Asklipeia (Greece)
15.  Image Conscious (United Kingdom)
16.   SpringFest (International)

The Case Study Collection & Analysis Report summarises the entire VALUE SCOUT case study collection and analysis process. It should be finally emphasised that final selection of case studies is not intended to be representative, but should display a significant contribution to value building through sports and culture and to ensure an appropriate coverage amongst the identified selection criteria.
