“…For instance, Moreau et al (2018: 297) report that this practice was part of the eductrainers’ effort to stimulate ‘the feeling of being involved in something bigger than oneself’ through establishing a supportive climate, which relates directly to the ingredients of shared mood and mutual focus of attention. Yet, the precise bodily and emotional dynamics of this IR ingredient in SfD are still largely unknown, despite the reference in Moreau et al (2018) and Schaillée et al (2017) to the way bodily co-presence influenced experiences of effort, playfulness, pleasure and sense of accomplishment in Deséquilibres and Let’s Go Urban.…”

“…This synchronisation of emotion and attention through micro-coordination is a central element of the rhythmic entrainment theorised by Collins (2004). The aforementioned urban dance battles examined by Schaillée et al (2017) from a PYD perspective are another example where individual performance is part of a collective undertaking with the rest of the group. Rhythmic entrainment is expressed in muscular bonding, ‘the human emotional response to moving rhythmically together’ (McNeill, 1995: vi): the positioning of the bodies of group members, the hand clapping and collective dancing along the music towards the performer and their verbal (shouting as an expression of admiration) or physical expressions (change in intensity and rhythm of the hand clapping) during the performance.…”

However, beyond more general actions such as ‘adapting to the pace of the slow runners or bikers’ (Moreau et al, 2018: 299) and the collective synchronisation of emotions and attention during dance battles (Schaillée et al, 2017), we still know very little about the minutiae of micro-level anticipation and synchronisation within SfD interactions. In other words, the evidence available is not yet ‘micro’ enough.…”

“…We revisit and reinterpret the results of these studies through a micro-sociological lens, focusing on the main tenets and elements of IR theory. Key examples of relevant studies include Scott (2018), Debognies et al (2019), Moreau et al (2018), Schaillée et al (2017) and Segura Trejo et al (2017). We also draw on studies in the adjacent field of youth work that incorporate elements of SfD – most notably, Abdallah (2017).…”

Sport for development research increasingly seeks to move beyond a focus on evidence of sport for development outcomes to better understand the mechanisms and contexts that underpin these outcomes. Building on recent innovations in micro-sociology, which highlight the role of emotions and bodily entrainment in face-to-face interactions, this paper critically examines, and aims to progress, efforts to open the ‘black box’ of sport for development outcomes and impacts. The authors argue that the theoretical and methodological merits of radical micro-sociology, and interaction ritual theory in particular, enable important advances in the field of sport for development. The paper proposes micro-sociological questions and practical directions for sport for development research but also outlines the limitations of this approach.

BackgroundYoung people who enter the justice system experience complex health and social needs, and offending behaviour is increasingly recognised as a public health problem. Arts interventions can be used with the aim of preventing or reducing offending or reoffending.Objectives1. To evaluate evidence on the effectiveness and impact of arts interventions on keeping children and young people safe from involvement in violence and crime. 2. To explore factors impacting the implementation of arts interventions, and barriers and facilitators to participation and achievement of intended outcomes. 3. To develop a logic model of the processes by which arts interventions might work in preventing offending behaviours.Search MethodsWe searched AMED, Academic Search Complete; APA PsycInfo; CINAHL Plus; ERIC; SocIndex; SportDiscus, Medline, CENTRAL, Web of Science, Scopus, PTSDPubs and Performing Arts Periodicals Database, Sage, the US National Criminal Justice Reference Service, the Global Policing and British Library EThOS databases, and the National Police Library from inception to January 2023 without language restrictions.Selection CriteriaWe included randomised and non‐randomised controlled trials and quasi‐experimental study designs. We included qualitative studies conducted alongside intervention trials investigating experiences and perceptions of participants, and offering insight into the barriers and facilitators to delivering and receiving arts interventions. We included qualitative and mixed methods studies focused on delivery of arts interventions. We included studies from any global setting. We included studies with CYP (8–25 years) who were identified as at‐risk of offending behaviour (secondary populations) or already in the criminal justice system (tertiary populations). We included studies of interventions involving arts participation as an intervention on its own or alongside other interventions. Primary outcomes were: (i) offending behaviour and (ii) anti‐pro‐social behaviours. Secondary outcomes were: participation/attendance at arts interventions, educational attainment, school attendance and engagement and exclusions, workplace engagement, wellbeing, costs and associated economic outcomes and adverse events.Data Collection and AnalysisWe included 43 studies (3 quantitative, 38 qualitative and 2 mixed methods). We used standard methodological procedures expected by The Campbell Collaboration. We used GRADE and GRADE CERQual to assess the certainty of and confidence in the evidence for quantitative and qualitative data respectively.Main ResultsWe found insufficient evidence from quantitative studies to support or refute the effectiveness of arts interventions for CYP at‐risk of or who have offended for any outcome. Qualitative evidence suggested that arts interventions may lead to positive emotions, the development of a sense of self, successful engagement in creative practices, and development of positive personal relationships. Arts interventions may need accessible and flexible delivery and are likely to be engaging if they have support from staff, family and community members, are delivered by professional artists, involve culturally relevant activity, a youth focus, regularity and a sustainable strategy. We found limited evidence that a lack of advocacy, low funding, insufficient wider support from key personnel in adjacent services could act as barriers to success. Methodological limitations resulted in a judgement of very low confidence in these findings.Authors' ConclusionsWe found insufficient evidence from quantitative studies to support or refute the effectiveness of arts interventions for CYP at‐risk of offending or who have offended for any outcome. We report very low confidence about the evidence for understanding the processes influencing the successful design and delivery of arts interventions in this population of CYP and their impact on behavioural, psychosocial, cognitive and offending outcomes.

We use a nonrepresentational (NRT) lens to explore the affect generated in the use of an action sport for girls from disadvantaged backgrounds in a short-term Sport for Development (SfD) project. Longboards and GoPro cameras were used to enable adolescent girls from disadvantaged communities to participate in urban outdoor action sport and to be digitally engaged by making vlogs of their participation. We used an NRT framework to explore the ways affects were produced during longboard instruction practices. The data consisted of 36 longboard instruction observations, 22 focus groups and 230 min of selected video fragments with the girls. We show how 'U on Board' became an counter pedagogic space and discuss how such SfD projects can create knowledges and pleasure in ways that can open up new possibilities for shaping sport practices.
