About the project
In summer 2025 we organised free football and basketball activities for children and young people in Espoo. The programme created an open, welcoming environment to stay active, meet other young people and build new connections — a low-threshold way to take part in organised sport without previous experience or club membership. Beyond the games, the activities encouraged teamwork, communication and positive interaction between participants from different backgrounds.
