Integration of Refugees
through Sport

Synthesis of the case study

As a product of the SPIN project, the "Good Practice Guide" presents examples towards the inclusion of migrants in and through sports from eight European countries (Austria, Germany, Italy, Republic of Ireland, Finland, Hungary, Portugal, UK). The compilation presented here is based on the studies and experiences of the European partner organisations and introduces practical examples on various levels and in various contexts. Each project partner provided reports and good practice examples from their countries. Camino – partner organisation of the project - has compiled a "Good Practice Guide" on including migrants in sports. It contains introductory texts and good practice examples from the following areas: national/governmental programmes, regional programmes, sport clubs and associations, qualification, migrant sport clubs, migrant girls/women, access in neighbourhoods, access in schools, anti-racist and intercultural events. Ultimately, quality criteria for the inclusion of migrants in sporting activities are established, accompanied by the corresponding indicators.
