Sports occupational workshops in Sombor
14. Sep 2022.
In the reception center in Sombor, since August, they have been conducting occupation workshops that use sports as a method. The workshops are conducted within the project "Humanitarian Assistance and Protection Related Interventions to People on the Move in Serbia". During August, 3 sports workshops were held in Sombor, and over 70 migrants participated in various activities such as badminton, foot tennis and table tennis.
Sports activities give us space to reach the migrant community and have a significant potential for social inclusion, bearing in mind the situation in which migrant communities find themselves. Sports activities contribute to health, fitness, coping with stress, improving the quality of life and coping with isolation.
The leader of the workshops is Filip Drakulić, sports worker, professor of physical education and sports. Our colleague and volunteer Miroslava Častvenova provides support in the implementation of the workshops.
The project is financed by HEKS/EPER, Switzerland
