What role can sport play in tackling the impact of displacement on young people?

On International Youth Day, 12 August 2020, sportanddev launched a call for articles on the role of sport in addressing challenges faced by refugees, especially younger people affected by displacement. The responses, which are from a wide range of individuals working in policy, civil society and academia, were published as part of our Week of Action on Sport and Refugees (21-27 September 2020). The call for articles is part of a partnership with the Sport for Refugees Coalition.
