The Partner-Finding Tool
Young people coming from countries meet and exchange through streetsports. How to live together, in the city, by using sport to foster social diversity ?
Basketball is one of the most popular sport all over the world. People in different countries, different environments, with different beliefs, religions or cultures watch and play this game. Basketball is a one-of-a-kind tool for different people to follow common rules and share common goals.
But Sport has its dark side too. Violence, racism and community tensions are too often to be found in international competitions as much as in local games. Sports probably don't have any intrinsic positive values. Sport is just what people make of it. In a near future, young people will be the ones able to invent new ways to use sport as a tool for good.
The aim of the project : Use basketball and street sports as a way to meet each other and to exchange. Find new ways to use basketball to promote intercultural dialogue and social diversity in the city. Our method : Play, think together and try concrete ideas to foster social diversity and mutual understanding through games on the playgrounds.
