We need leaders of sports activities.

People who engage in any sports activities and are willing to share their knowledge, experience, passion and will to share with the migrant population housed in the three reception centers can apply.

As support for migrants staying in the aforementioned reception centers, we organize occupational workshops using sports as a method for psychosocial support.

The sports activities create a sense of community and belonging. They have the potential for social inclusion and give us space to reach out to the migrant community.

You can organize volleyball tournaments, football tournaments, games without borders, do gymnastics, breathing exercises... whatever you think will contribute to better psychophysical health of people on the move. 

What do we want to achieve with the sports activities that we shall organize in the reception centers?

Individual benefit (health, fitness, coping with stress, improving quality of life), social benefit (fighting isolation and building social networks) and community benefit (using sport as a means of communication between migrants and host/local communities).

Who are the participants in the workshops?

Migrants staying in reception centers.

People on the move stay in reception centers from a few days to a few months, or even years...and the participants in the workshops will be variable. Which means that you should have an open concept for sports activities that new people can join. The approximate number of participants in one workshop is 15 - 25. The number may be subject to change.
