MiGiS – Come join us in Sofia, Bulgaria, in November!

As part of our initiative MiGiS – Migrant Girls in Sport: Never Behind Again!, from the 3rd to the 6th of November 2023 Europamente, Roes Coop and BSDA will gather in Sofia, Bulgaria, together with 20+ youth workers from Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, aged 18 or more.

The training will be an opportunity to learn from each other on sport as a tool to promote inclusion and create community, with a special focus on girls from a migrant background, who are especially at risk of marginalisation.

We find that sports are a fruitful field for all children to experience the importance of teamwork, of taking the initiative and learning how to act in a leadership role. In sports, kids learn through experience the act of inclusion and synergy – and for marginalized populations such as young girls with a migrant background, an environment like this is essential.

Goals of the 4-day training are:

• To learn about discrimination migrant children face in everyday life
• To learn about discrimination migrant girls face in sports
• To obtain tools so you can support these groups as a youth worker back home
• To practice them in a supporting learning environment, and later transmit them to your local communities
