Welcome Through Football
The programme aims to share best practices and deliver a football based social inclusion methodology directed at reaching and working with young refugees from the ages of 7 through to 25 years old. Alongside other European clubs, we deliver a football-based community programme with a focus on social inclusion, integration and acceptation of refugees in Sheffield.
WELCOME THROUGH FOOTBALL IS A 3 STEP PROCESS:
- Socialisation to sports – providing different football offerings for young refugees of both genders related to their specific requirements such as language skills or the possibility of trauma.
- Socialisation in sports – working on team structure, giving more responsibility to the participants and offering additional steps out with the sports training sessions.
- Socialisation through sports – Focusing on the skills the participants learn from taking part in the available offers so that they qualify for further education in and outside of sports.
