Do you want to live a fun and enriching experience doing sports and meeting new people?
Our meetings are free and, in them, refugees and volunteers share sports games to improve their interpersonal skills and break down their prejudices together.
These meetings are part of the COMMUNITY project of the University of Barcelona, which aims to promote social inclusion of refugees in Barcelona through physical activity and sport
Who?
The meetings are addressed to refugees, university students, volunteers, professionals and organizations.

We met at the CEM Can Ricart, located at 10 Sant Oleguer Street, in Barcelona (Metro L2-L3 Paral·lel, L3 Drassanes or L3 Liceu).

The ‘COMMUNITY’ project has come to an end and, with it, the Socio-Sports Meetings. This project has been developed over 3 years (2021 to 2023) and the last meeting took place on 20 December 2023.
