Summary of the project: Faced with the arrival of migrants in France, the question of welcoming them arose. Various initiatives have been set up throughout the country for women and men who are "refugees" and whose future is a matter of right in France.

The aim of these initiatives is to provide them with the means for a better social inclusion within the French socitey, by enabling them to practise the language, get acquainted with their host town or region and meet people outside the social and administrative systems. Through physical and sports activities, these initiatives, in addition to the essential support provided by social workers, create a link between the refugees and the host society and thus facilitate their social inclusion.

Wishing to go further in this approach, the aim is to develop and implement an innovative method to foster inclusive education and promote common values. Through the practice of sport, and arbitration.
