“…For instance, a study of Freiburg's Bike Bridge programme argues that "sustained engagement in the programme as volunteers was necessary to enable the accumulation and the possible transformation of multiform capital and to provide chances for upward social mobility and social inclusion" (Mohammadi 2019). Despite these claims, research shows that the benefits derived from participation in sport, leisure or other civic associations are often driven or reinforced by the internal characteristics of participants, as opposed to being generated by the associations themselves (van der Meer and van Ingen 2009, Cheung et al 2020).…”

Despite growing activity connecting sport to social cohesion, in sport-related literature, social cohesion is poorly defined and primarily organised along narrow dimensions of social relations or social capital. Yet social cohesion is a complex, multidimensional concept that encompasses ideas of belonging, shared values, trust, and civic participation. Much literature does not explore these other components in-depth, and we know little about how sport programmes understand and address these components of social cohesion. Against this background, using qualitative data from a mapping survey completed by 84 European sport organisations, this study aims to create a typology of the main sport for social cohesion approaches in Europe. In the end, four main types are identified: evangelical approaches that rely solely on the power of sport; value approaches that mix sport participation with the promotion of values; integration approaches that combine sport and civic participation to foster social capital and cohesion; and belonging approaches that encourage trust, dialogue and a greater sense belonging.To conclude, these types are critically discussed and situated against existing literature, and the outline of a fifth, more structural type is presented.
