E-COP – Project no. 167127-LLP-1-2009-1-IT-KA1-KA1ECETB

Example of Practice:

JAX International footballschool


Short Description:Jax International football club submitted during the spring of 2010

a proposal on how a football school could develop integration of

newly arrived refugees to the Swedish society while they also

wanted to make an effort to raise the quality and performance of the

young people in school.

The promoters also felt that it was important that young people had

a clear and positive social information which led to continuous

information meetings with police, emergency services and other

social services during the project. Some immigrant children and

adolescents are limited to the home environment and therefore

have limited opportunity to participate in recreational activities of

that kind, which meant the project. This is especially true for girls,

and therefore priority for this group in this project.
