In a joint initiative, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) and the Sport Inclusion Network (SPIN) host a workshop on football as a tool for Social Inclusion of Refugees across Europe.

Following a long period of Covid-19 restrictions, which made it almost impossible to have public, in-person events, there was an urgent need to present and share SPIN Refugees activities with the target groups of the project, in particular local sport clubs, refugee & migrant sport initiatives/projects and to sport media.

SPIN funds “United for Inclusion” events during the European Week of Sport.

SPIN Refugee project co-funds training courses for refugees and asylum seekers to obtain qualification in sport.

Our EU project SPIN Refugees is more relevant than ever due to the largest European refugee movement since the Second World War.

Non-mainstream football clubs adapt to the particular needs of migrant and refugee women, making them feel more comfortable to participate in sport.

A physical training workshop on inclusive sport gathered the partner organizations of the SPIN Refugees project. The three-day train-the-trainer workshop in Zurndorf (Austria) trained participants to become Trainer Inclusive Sports. The trainers will become experts for inclusion within sports organisations. The participants practiced training and communication skills and learned how to actively acquire knowledge about inclusion.

The most relevant outcomes of the SPIN WOMEN project supporting others to make sport more inclusive for migrant women and girls.

We look back on two exciting conference days and would like to take this opportunity to thank all participants for their active support!
