The project aims to increase social inclusion of war refugees and migrants in our countries through sport activities.
Summary
This project aims to empower war refugees and promote social inclusion through sports. By bringing together war refugees and local communities through shared interests and experiences, we hope to break down barriers and promote greater understanding and acceptance. Through sports activities, refugees will improve their physical and mental well-being, form positive relationships, and access support. By promoting social inclusion, we aim to create a more inclusive and welcoming society for all.
Objectives
