Erasmus+ Sport Integration of Refugees Through Sport

The project aimsto promote through sport, social inclusion and equal opportunities for all besides raising awareness of the importance of health-enhancing physical activity. These objectives will be reached through transfer of innovative practices at European, national, but also at regional and local levels and so to contribute to the development of a European dimension of sport.In fact by bringing people together, sport has the potential to make an important contribution to the integration of socially marginalized people, above all when migrants, thus contributing to building communities while fighting attitudes of xenophobia and racism, especially for young that are more responsive to bad influences.

The project pursues the specific Erasmus+ Collaborative Partnership priorities related to encouraging social inclusion and equal opportunities in Sport. Our Project aims at answering the challenge of social exclusion of migrants in Europe, with a particular focus on addressing the compelling issue of systematic under representation of migrants in non-playing roles within Sport clubs and organizations.
