COMMUNITY Final Seminar
Barcelona (ES), 13 December 2023
Promoting Refugee Inclusion through Physical Activities and Sport
The COMMUNITY project, led by the University of Barcelona is approaching its culmination. As part of the project’s finalization, we are organizing a closing event to present the main results, address future challenges, and discuss upscaling and dissemination strategies.
This event aims to exchange good practices amongst organizations regarding Refugee Inclusion through Physical Activities and Sport to foster social integration between refugees and host communities.
Let’s collaboratively build a repository of effective practices that contribute to the social integration of refugees through the power of community and sports. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of those seeking refuge and contribute to building more inclusive societies.
