Barcelona (ES), 13 December 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We invite you to the final seminar of the COMMUNITY project<\/a>, where the main results will be presented, current and future challenges regarding the social inclusion of refugees<\/strong> will be addressed and we will discuss potential strategies for the implementation of the socio-sports methodology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The COMMUNITY project, led by the University of Barcelona<\/strong>, is an initiative that has tackled, over the last few years, the obstacles to the social inclusion of refugees and asylum seekers through physical activity and collaborative sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges such as racism, discrimination, segregation and xenophobia have been addressed through a succession of Socio-Sports Meetings, which are based upon activities to enhance personal empowerment, coexistence and interculturality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project has pursued the following objectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. To improve mutual knowledge and understanding<\/strong> between refugees and host communities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. To address issues such as empowerment, coexistence<\/strong>, positive conflict management, direct participation, critical thinking, interculturality and intergenerational relations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Facilitate physical well-being and promote the direct participation<\/strong> of host communities in innovative approaches to the social integration of refugees through sports and physical activities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
