Feasibility study of sport for development programming targeting refugees, migrants and host communities

PeacePlayers International and Laureus Sport for Good Foundation are seeking a consultant to conduct a feasibility study exploring how a long-term, sport-based intervention could support increased social cohesion, specifically through the positive integration of migrants and refugees within their host communities, in four key geographic areas: Germany, Greece, Turkey and France.

The study will be conducted over a period of six months beginning January 2018. Results of the study will inform the piloting of sport and social cohesion programming in targeted geographic locations during a two to three year period, followed by a larger-scale five-year program roll-out.
