Summary of the project: Kick for Social Development is a cooperation program of the step stiftung (foundation) and the department Sport pedagogic of the Institute of Sport and Sport science of the University of Freiburg. It includes the projects “kick for girls”, “kick for boys” and “kick for refugees”.
