About this session
What role can sport play in supporting children whose lives have been disrupted by conflict and displacement? This interactive session explores how sport can go beyond recreation to create safe, inclusive spaces where children can build confidence, strengthen relationships, develop teamwork, and support their psychosocial wellbeing. Drawing on Palestine: Sports for Life's experience working with children displaced from Tulkarem and Nur Shams refugee camps and Gaza, the session will share practical examples of Sport for Development, psychosocial support, child safeguarding, and inclusive facilitation. Participants will also explore how to design purposeful sports activities and identify simple ways to observe meaningful changes beyond participation numbers.
