After-school project "Fair fighting - for tolerance and integration"
Press invitation on Friday, 28 June, 5 p.m., Hort Alfred-Neubert-Str. 55/57
On Friday 28 June at 5 p.m., the "Fair Fighting - for Tolerance and Integration" project will be presented at the Alfred-Neubert-Straße 55/57 after-school care centre. From 11 to 13 March 2019, the after-school children received judo training sessions. All of the centre's after-school children were allowed to take part in this project, regardless of whether they had any previous knowledge of judo or not.
The aim of this project is to bring together children with a migrant background and children living in Germany, reduce fear of contact and playfully convey the values of our free and democratic basic order such as respect, fairness, helpfulness and tolerance.
On the three training days, the children were divided into two groups of 20 children each. There were both girls and boys in both groups, with children from Syria, Germany, Afghanistan, Russia and other countries.
The project days were documented photographically and on film.
The final result will be presented to all children and parents who took part on Friday.
The "Fair Fighting for Tolerance and Integration" project was launched in 2015 by Sebastian Häfker, police officer and former German police judo champion from Osnabrück. Other coaches: Henry Hubert, police officer and former European police judo champion, and Mohanad Alhajee, a Syrian refugee from Aleppo, who then obtained his judo coaching licence through Sebastian Häfker.
