This needs assessment is produced as part of the Football Makes History project. The overall aim of the Football Makes History project is to contribute to the reduction of the number of people at risk of social exclusion across Europe. The project aims to builds on the rich local cultural heritage of football and its shared history that offers direct access to addressing past and present diversity. In addition, it aims to promote shared values, equality, non-discrimination and social inclusion with an integrated perspective, encompassing and innovating formal and non-formal learning, as well as youth work.

This Needs Assessment visualises the needs and challenges of football history as an educational tool for social inclusion based on an EU-wide survey and on three piloting projects. It identifies working elements that can be used when producing a toolkit and exemplary lessons within the course of this project. In addition, it examines educational programmes that make use of football history, assessing their working elements and identifying improvements needed, as well as potential areas for innovation.
