How We Work
Connecting people through sports, Sportunity helps refugees integrate in the local community. Take a look at what we do:
Sportunity
Classes
As a perfect first point of contact, we provide inclusive, high-quality training free of charge for all. We are using sports as a universal language to teach our participants that healthy bodies lead to healthy and stress-free minds.
Community
Events
Community events are a great way to get to know local culture and customs. Sharing the energy and love for sports, make up for a great day of fun and a long-lasting feeling of belonging in the new place.
Athletes'
Mentoring
Successful athletes have many valuable lessons to teach. Through our meetings, we encourage them to stay in touch with our youth to inspire, motivate and lead them by example.
Integration Through
Volunteering
Volunteering at local events is a great way to establish a strong connection between newest members of our community and their new surroundings. Feeling needed and useful is an integral part of true integration.
Cultural
Exchange
We believe that getting to know one another strengthens communication between cultures, languages and generations. By showing best parts of all cultures, we create the world of mutual understanding and cultural respect
Volunteering Opportunities
We teach our local volunteers about the power of true human connection by encouraging them to donate their time, energy and spare time to introduce new-comers to their community.
Brighter
Future
By supporting displaced children and youth today, we are giving them a chance to dream about happier tomorrow. Only nurturing real social change and inclusion, will grant us a peaceful and prosperous society.
Integration in Steps
At Sportunity, we have developed a solid, hands-on experience of refugee integration.
This is how it works:
1
Recruitment
Our team has a very proactive approach to the recruitment process, which means regular trips to all main refugee centres across Luxembourg to get in touch with the residents, get to know them personally and find out more about their needs.
2
Sport Activities
We provide free-of-charge, open-for-all, high-quality sport trainings, during which our participants can work on their physical form, de-stress, connect with others and find this crucial first point of contact with their new community.
3
Support & Mentoring
We strongly believe that everyone has something valuable to teach, especially those, who have already overcome their difficult circumstances. We are very adamant about giving them voice and opportunities to mentor and guide youth through different obstacles in life.
4
Individual Approach
Our work is dedicated to helping others, so it is crucial for us to always listen to those, who come to us for support. Our team knows all our participants well, regularly asks for feedback and organises meetings at their foyers to make sure we stay relevant to their needs.
5
Lasting Relationships
During our activities, several types of bonds are formed and in integration this is all it is all about! Our commitment, mentoring between trainers and participants, and friendships between peers. New roots start from a network of dependable people, on which you can rely, so you can grow, learn and thrive in your new cimmunity.
6
Mutual Benefits
It is called cultural exchange for a very good reason and we never forget it! Every single day, we have a privilege of learning from many different cultures of our participants and it helps us to understand them, their situation and the world around us.

We demonstrate day by day how peaceful and enriching diversity can be.
