New Welcome through Football programme is set to kick off
EFDN members participating in the Welcome through Football 2021 project will virtually meet on 20 January, 10am – 1pm (CET). Our project partners will introduce themselves and present their organisations. The webinar will also feature an overall introduction into the Welcome through Football methodology, monitoring & evaluation, finance and reporting.
The Welcome through Football 2021 project aims to assist in the integration and inclusion of recently arrived young refugees, asylum seekers and young people with a migrant background. EFDN and partners will develop and test a European methodology that uses football as a tool to reach refugees and migrants from different ages (7-25 years old) to get them physically and social active in European communities. The project will also train the staff members of participating organisations in this new methodology and develop a Welcome through Football Practitioners Guide with train the trainer courses that are accessible for free and widely used by interested organisations and sport clubs in Europe.
The Welcome through Football 2021 project aims to build upon the previous Welcome Through Football 2019 project. The Welcome through Football 2021 will further develop the 3-Step Welcome through Football Methodology and test the complete methodology multiple times during the five delivery phases of this project, allowing for more significant data gathering and improve the sustainability of the project outcomes.
