Athletic training sessions for refugee kids and teenagers, focusing on swimming skills.
In the heart of Wiesbaden, Germany, the Wiesbaden Swimming Club 1911 e.V. has taken a significant step towards promoting integration and fostering a sense of community. The club, along with the Wiesbaden Economic Forum e.V., has initiated a new project aimed at teaching refugee children and young people to swim safely.
The project, which does not provide specific information about its funding, objectives, or future courses as of yet, is intended to provide children and young people with self-confidence, participation, and joy. The initiative, according to Dr. Patricia Becher, is of great importance for those who often come under difficult circumstances.
The first swimming courses for refugee children aged 10 to 15 will start on Monday, August 25, at the ESWE leisure pool. A further round of courses for children aged 5 to 8 will begin from Saturday, August 30, at the Kleinfeldchen. Qualified trainers from Wiesbaden Swimming Club will conduct these swimming courses.
The project is funded by the Wiesbaden Economic Forum e.V., an organisation that focuses on education, integration, and equal opportunities. The club's President, Christoph Eichler, values the initiative from a sporting perspective, while Dr. Becher appreciates the extraordinary commitment shown by all those involved.
The Wiesbaden Economic Forum e.V. views social engagement as a conviction, not a duty. The President of the club emphasises the club's commitment to integrating refugees through sport. The symbolic handover of the project took place between Wiesbaden Economic Forum e.V. and Wiesbaden Swimming Club 1911 e.V.
Learning to swim is seen as a means to enable participation for children, regardless of their origin or financial situation. The city's social and administrative services will ensure the participation of the target group.
For those seeking more detailed, up-to-date information on this specific project, it is recommended to check Wiesbaden city official websites, local refugee support organisations, or swim clubs involved in social integration programs. Citizens can also contact the relevant department or office with any questions regarding the project.
